Sony’s Superzoom Camera Reviewed
At any one time, there are about 1,000 vessels in the Port of Singapore, a ship leaves or arrives every two to three minutes. From a high-rise hotel room, I observed the coincidence of their meeting, wondering what the captains discussed, how their ships were queued, and what cargo they carried. Not there for a port tour on business, but as a tourist, and with a Sony superzoom camera built for wide open vistas in my hand, I zoomed in and out on the flotilla.
As I shared in my review today, for Shutterbug, the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 III has an impressive 25x built-in lens that’s equivalent to 24–600mm in the 35mm format. That’s a whole lotta zoom and I had the remarkable, “all in one” camera with me during a trip to Singapore earlier this year.
Click through for the rest of the story and my conclusions. If zooming is your thing then I recommend the RX10 III, of course, with a few reservations. Sony isn’t exaggerating its claim that the $1,5000.00 RX10 III is unlike anything else in the market today and it’ll get the job done wherever you take it.
