Get one; I’m astounded at how useful this is. It’s especially for people who need the complete lens range in one zoom; if a 24-70mm is enough, the RX100 MK IV is the same thing in a smaller package.
While I can see slight differences in color rendition between the RX10 III and my DSLRs, few other people will, and the RX10 Mk III’s technical qualities are better than 99% of the people who will use it.
Sony has come a long, long way in recent years, and this RX10 Mk III may now be the only camera you need for just about everything.

Cinema5D tested the video capability fo the camera and was not impressed by it:

The absence of previously available features like ND filter and a constant fast aperture leads me to think that this particular model is aimed more for the photographers among us rather then the videographers.

Sony RX10M3 Unboxing and First Look

Yep, I am sure you almost forgot about it but there is a new A-mount camera from Sony :) The A68 will ship soon in USA and here is a new review from Photographyblog:

The Sony A68 is an excellent alternative to a mid-range DSLR, offering the same excellent auto-focusing performance as the top-of-the-range A77 II camera. In summary, the Sony A68 proves that there’s still life left in the Sony A-mount camera range. It’s both a worthy alternative to the DSLR competition and Sony’s smaller-bodied E-mount system.

There is also a German Sony a68 handson video by Jens Knotte on Youtube. And a polish review at Fototesty.

Lensrentals tested the new Sony 50mm FE lens. here a couple of findings:

• The 50mm is a very good lens and quite a bargain at the price

The Alpa is the only mirrorless camera which uses the new Sony 101 medium format sensor. But unlike modern DSLR digital medium format cameras the Alpa is quite tricky to use. Kai surely got though a lot of annoyances to make it work. It would certainly make sense for Sony to launch a RX medium format camera with such sensor. If they manage to price it below $10,000 there may a market for this?
