Now that we've tested it in our studio and spent time shooting with it in a variety of situations, we have answers.

We're still at work on our in-depth written review, but we've covered the essentials of its image quality, autofocus performance and, of course, price, in our video review, which you can watch now.

Be sure to stay tuned for our full sample gallery and more analysis, and check out the DSC-RX1R III in our studio scene to see how its sensor and lens perform.
