It took Sony 10 years to deliver a successor to the RX1R II. The changes may seem minor—but they matter. The clever (and maybe gimmicky?) pop-up EVF is gone. So is the tilting LCD, sadly.Sony kept the same lens and still didn’t add IBIS.
What we got instead is the upgraded and in y opinion still class leading 61MP sensor and the superb AI autofocus system.
Should they have done more? For $5100 probably yes. But then again… there’s still no other full-frame fixed-lens camera this compact and lightweight and also cheaper than this. That alone keeps the RX1R III in a class of its own.
