After nearly a decade, Sony has announced a new version of its fixed-lens compact RX1R camera that was last updated in 2015.
The new third generation RX1R III arrives with the same 35mm full-frame Exmor R sensor as its predecessor, but with a bump from 42.4 to 61 megapixels.
The RX1R III will be available sometime in July for approximately $5,099.99, according to Sony.
To help make the RX1R III as light and portable as possible, Sony is now using a fixed screen on the back that can no longer be tilted up and down.
The RX1R III also includes 12 different quick access Creative Looks that can be customized and applied to both stills and video.
