Like many of you, I was waiting so very patiently for the Sony RX1R Mk III. At the last Sony Kando trip I attended, I even spoke with them about what the camera needed. So for a few years, I knew that Sony hadn’t given up on this camera and that I knew that it was coming. But I didn’t know when the announcement would come. In 2025, though, Sony is one of the companies that seems to be acknowledging that high-end premium point-and-shoot cameras are a thing that people actually will drop their credit card down for. With a 61.1MP sensor at the heart behind a 12-year-old lens, Sony’s cameras have never had so much character. And trust me, that’s something that photographers are bound to love.
