Sony RX1R III camera rumors: improved operations, 4k video, updated EVF


Some additional information on the rumored Sony RX1R III camera - some of the improvements will include:

  • Better operations (I hope this means a better menu system)
  • 4k video recording capabilities
  • Improved EVF


Sony will have a press event on April 23rd at the 2017 NAB show, but I am not sure if the new RX1R II will be announced then.



After the recent $600 price drop, the current Sony RX1R II model is slowly running out of stock at some major US retailers:

  • Adorama: in stock
  • Amazon: only 3 left in stock (more on the way).
  • B&H: out of stock (more on the Way)

Tha original RX1 was announced in September 2012, the RX1R II was introduced in October 2015.

Sony is rumored to announce a new RX1R III camera


I received a tip from a source that has been correct in the past that one of the not-yet-announced Sony cameras, the WW620081, will be a new RX1R III model that will replace the current RX1R II. This could also explain the recent $600 price drop on the RX1R II. Stay tuned while I am trying to gather some additional information.

Two years later: Samsung is done with digital cameras

Mirrorless NX prototypes from Samsung promotional video

Samsung is done with digital cameras - this report comes from a Samsung official who spoke on condition of anonymity:

"We no longer produce and sell digital cameras. But we will create a new camera product category to continue the business.”

In the past two years, there have been multiple reports that Samsung is done with their camera division, but there was never an official confirmation from the company.

In case someone is still wondering: no, Nikon did not buy Samsung's camera division.
