[Purchase Period] July 23, 2025 (Wed) - October 14, 2025 (Tue) / [DSCRX1RM3] DSCRX1RM3 Release date: August 2025. The RX1R's high image quality is achieved thanks to its integrated lens. The RX1R III pursues the ideal camera, offering exceptional image quality in a compact, portable design. The image sensor, lens, and body are integrated to achieve both high resolution and compactness. Despite its 35mm full-frame sensor and large-aperture f/2 lens, Sony's compact design technologies have enabled an astonishingly compact size that fits in the palm of your hand. With a sleek design that offers intuitive controls and excellent handling, the RX1R III is portable anywhere, allowing you to capture life's most moving and meaningful moments with exceptional image quality.
High-quality image in the palm of your hand thanks to the integrated lens design. Because it's an integrated lens camera, the position of the lens and image sensor can be adjusted during manufacturing. Each RX1R III undergoes rigorous testing, optimizing the focal plane position down to the micron level. This packs outstanding optical and imaging performance into an incredibly compact body. The RX1R III maximizes the imaging performance of the Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm f/2 prime lens and the capabilities of the 35mm full-frame back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 61 effective megapixels.
Equipped with a Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm f/2 prime lens. The RX1R III utilizes the Zeiss Sonnar T* lens, a design inherited from the RX1 series. Featuring a moderately wide focal length, this 35mm prime lens captures a variety of scenes, from landscapes to portraits and macro shots, with a natural angle of view and perspective, providing a natural, pristine image. It also reduces spherical aberration and field curvature, ensuring sharp resolution and high contrast from edge to edge. Designed for integrated lens cameras, the highest quality Zeiss Sonnar T* lens is manufactured and inspected to strict standards and integrated into the camera body with micron-level precision, allowing the RX1R III to combine exceptional image quality with a compact body.
35mm full-frame back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 61 effective megapixels. This camera incorporates Sony's image sensor technology, a 35mm full-frame back-illuminated CMOS sensor with approximately 61 effective megapixels. It achieves high resolution, high sensitivity, low noise, and a wide dynamic range thanks to its back-illuminated structure for efficient noise reduction, a gapless on-chip lens structure for high light collection performance, an AR coating (anti-reflection film) that prevents unwanted reflections on the sensor surface, and an optical low-pass filter-less design that maintains resolution.
BIONZ XR image processing engine with high processing power. The latest BIONZ XR image processing engine is used, shortening processing time and significantly improving image processing capabilities for both still and video capture. The camera maximizes the resolution performance of the approximately 61 effective megapixel high-resolution image sensor, faithfully reproducing the texture and details of the subject. Pose estimation technology that maintains high-precision subject tracking through AI processing. The RX1R III is equipped with an AI processing unit that uses human posture estimation technology to accurately recognize a subject's movements using skeletal information. This technology accurately recognizes not only the eyes but also the torso and head positions, enabling accurate tracking even when a person is facing away from the camera or when their face is not visible. Furthermore, it can distinguish between multiple subjects with different postures, enabling it to recognize and track a specific subject even in busy street scenes. Accurately Recognizes a Wide Variety of Subjects. The RX1R III's AI processing unit supports subject recognition for people, animals, birds, insects, cars/trains, and airplanes. It also features an Auto mode, allowing the camera to automatically select and recognize different types of subjects. By leaving subject selection to Auto mode, you can focus on composition and subject movement during shooting. A wide range of subjects are recognized for both still and video shooting. Wider, Higher-Density AF for Faster, Higher Precision. The high-speed processing performance of the latest BIONZ XR image processor and revised algorithms improve AF performance despite the high pixel count and wide, high-density AF data volume. Up to 693 on-chip phase-detection AF points are densely packed across approximately 78% of the image sensor's imaging area (when shooting still images), wider than the RX1R II. This allows for pinpoint accuracy and capture of recognized subjects, such as a small bird perched on a branch. Even when shooting portraits in portrait orientation, the wider area compared to the RX1R II allows for more flexible framing. Furthermore, by actively utilizing phase-detection AF, fast and stable focusing is achieved even in single AF (AF-S) mode, supporting comfortable shooting. High-Precision AF Captures Subjects Even in Dark Scenes at EV -4.0. The latest AF algorithm enables the RX1R III to capture highly accurate autofocus even in low-light conditions, such as indoors or at night, in AF-S mode at EV -4.0*.
