RX1R III overview

The Sony RX1R III is a 61 MP full-frame compact camera with a built-in lens, announced by Sony in July 2025.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel and everyday carry, video, low light, and landscape and detail. It is a weaker pick for all-day shooting on one battery, paid jobs that need a backup card and fast action.

New, it sells for $5,098 to $5,099.99 at the 6 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $3,948.57. It launched at $5,099.99.

Worth comparing it with the Leica Q3, Fujifilm GFX100RF and Fujifilm X100VI.
