The new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III is the best compact camera that we've ever reviewed, period. We were impressed by last year's Mark 2 model, but this third iteration takes several big steps forwards, most notably thanks to the inclusion of a high-quality, cleverly integrated eye-level viewfinder which in our view is a stroke of genius.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III features a 1inch 20.2 megapixel backlit CMOS sensor that delivers impressive noise performance and excellent image quality. Combined with a new high quality Carl Zeiss f/1.8 24-70mm equivalent optical zoom lens with image stabilization and Sony's skillset in miniaturization means Sony are able to produce a compact digital camera with a hidden electronic viewfinder, plus Wi-Fi connectivity and NFC. The RX100 III also improves on the previous model with a tilting screen that tilts forwards, great for self-portraits.

RX100 III offers the best image quality of any pocketable camera we've ever seen. It's not just that its 1"-type sensor is at least twice as large as most of its rivals, it's also a very good sensor, whose low read noise means it offers excellent dynamic range and the kind of malleable Raw files you'd usually only expect from a much larger camera.

To be honest, if you just want to capture great street scenes, either can works. However, the RX100 Mk III is what we’d recommend to the street photography crowd. In fact, you’ll probably never miss a shot.
If you want overall better image quality though, then the G1X Mk III takes the cake.

Gotta love that pop-up viewfinder. It really seems painful to me how sony ever so incrementally dishes out the upgraded new models. would it really have hurt for them to do any sort of resolution above 1080 in this? in any case, it's still for the most part unchallenged. they'll sell bucketloads
When Sony launched its first RX100 back in 2012, we were very impressed. The camera offered tremendous functionality in a pocketable package. Then, when the RX100 II came around last year, Sony added WiFi along with a full-size hot shoe (which can accommodate high-end audio gear, among other accessories), besting the original model. This year's iteration is by far the most capable yet, with a superior lens, XAVC S encoding and a unique pop-up EVF.
It seems the universal opinion of Sony's RX100 Mark III is that it's the best performing and most versatile pocketable compact camera with a fixed lens on the current market.
Sony has seriously packed a lot into its diminutive premium point-and-shoot. It packs all the power of a compact system camera into an even smaller and unassuming package. Whether you’re a street shooter or in need of a travel camera, the RX100 Mark III won’t disappoint. EVF, high-res LCD, popup flash, excellent image quality, and high ISO performance—this is a fully featured camera.

Sony RX100 III is quite simply the best 'pocketable' camera for enthusiasts right now. The fact it manages to build significantly on what were already two very capable predecessors is all the more impressive.
