Classic full-frame compact resurrected
SONY has revealed a new full-frame fixed-lens compact camera, in the shape of the RX1R III. Released a full decade after its predecessor, it employs the same 35mm f/2 lens, but now with a 60MP sensor. And it fits this into a body that measures just 113.3 x 67.9 x 87.5mm, which is noticeably more petite than its most obvious competitors, the Fujifilm X100VI and Leica Q3 / Q3 43.
