Product Description
Sony RX1R III: Transform Moments into Masterpieces
Compact yet uncompromising, the RX1R III is the highly anticipated third-generation fixed-lens full-frame camera that blends pro-level performance with pocketable portability. Equipped with a powerful 61MP BSI CMOS sensor, refined autofocus and video capabilities, a redesigned body with longer battery life, and the iconic ZEISS Sonnar T 35mm f/2 prime lens*, the RX1R III is a versatile imaging tool built for creators who demand exceptional image quality on the go.
Unrivaled Full-Frame Imaging
61MP Exmor R BSI Sensor + BIONZ XR + AI Engine
Borrowed from Sony’s a7R V and a7CR, the RX1R III’s 61MP full-frame sensor delivers ultra-high resolution, exceptional clarity, low noise, and a broad 15-stop dynamic range. The backside-illuminated design and copper wiring allow faster data transfer, supporting rich 14-bit raw output and ISO performance from 100 to 32,000.
The BIONZ XR image processor enhances performance up to 8x over its predecessor, enabling faster autofocus, advanced AI-powered processing, better dynamic range, and significantly reduced rolling shutter effects.
Next-Gen Autofocus with AI Precision
Sony’s dedicated AI Processing Unit supercharges subject recognition and real-time tracking:
-
Human: Tracks body, face, and eyes with improved accuracy (Eye AF now 60% better).
-
Animal/Bird: Recognizes a wide range of creatures with 40% more precision.
-
Insects: Detects full bodies or heads for close-up shots.
-
Vehicles: Tracks trains and airplanes with pinpoint focus.
The 693-point Fast Hybrid AF system covers 79% of the full-frame area and operates down to -4 EV. Full-time Direct Manual Focus (DMF) is also supported for on-the-fly manual adjustments.
Color Accuracy & Exposure Intelligence
Powered by AI, the RX1R III analyzes human pose and skin tones for more reliable exposure—up to 20% better performance in tricky lighting. Combined with enhanced white balance detection using IR and visible light sensors, it produces natural, true-to-life colors.
Creative Freedom with Step Crops & Looks
New Step Crop modes simulate tighter focal lengths with:
-
50mm crop (29MP)
-
70mm crop (15MP)
Perfect for in-camera composition with preserved quality.
Additionally, new Creative Looks offer film-style aesthetics straight out of the camera, such as:
-
FL2: Nostalgic film tone
-
FL3: Slide film-inspired contrast
-
IN: Instant film aesthetic
ZEISS Sonnar T 35mm f/2 Lens: Classic Reimagined*
The beloved ZEISS 35mm f/2 prime returns with enhancements:
-
Bright f/2 aperture for low light and creative depth of field
-
Aspherical elements for sharp, distortion-free imagery
-

-
Dimensions: 4.4 x 2.6 x 2.9"
-
Weight: Just 1.1 lb
-
Now uses the NP-FW50 battery (approx. 300 shots/charge)
-
Sleek, flat-top design with a refined grip and discreet matte finish
-
Weather-sealed magnesium alloy body
High-Resolution EVF & Touchscreen
-
EVF: Fixed 0.39" OLED with 2.36m-dot resolution and 0.7x magnification
-
Rear LCD: 3.0", 2.36m-dot touchscreen for intuitive focus and navigation

-
Threaded shutter button: Use with traditional cable release
Pro-Level Video
-
Record 4K full-frame 10-bit 4:2:2 at 30fps using XAVC S-I (up to 300 Mbps)
-
S-Log3, S-Gamut3.Cine, and S-Cinetone for cinematic color and grading flexibility
-
Apply Creative Looks and LUTs directly in-camera for faster workflows
-
EVF and LCD previews support monitoring LUTs or specific looks
