Trusted sources (Thanks!) just told us Sigma will have a new press event on August 19. And this is what we are likely to get:

PetaPixel review of the Sony RX1rIII: Was This Worth Waiting for Nearly 10 Years?

Share

Sony RX1rIII preorders at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt, Calumet, WexUK.

PetaPixel reviewed the new Sony camera and concludes:

In 2025, it feels like a nostalgic blast from the past with some nice but minor quality-of-life improvements. That said, for almost as many nice things that we gained, we lost others.

There is no denying that it is a fun and handy camera to carry around, with the power to take some great images. This camera doesn’t fall far from the 2016 camera bag, and whether you will justify the $5,100 cost depends on how much you really pined for that RX1R II experience back in the day and how much more resolution really means to you.
