Sony India has announced the RX1R III, the third-generation model in its RX1R compact camera lineup. The camera was initially announced globally back in July 2025. It features a 61-megapixel 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS image sensor, the latest BIONZ XR image processor, and a ZEISS Sonnar T 35mm F2 lens.
Sony RX1R III features
The RX1R III combines a 61-megapixel back-illuminated sensor with the BIONZ XR engine to deliver high resolution, wide dynamic range, and low noise. The sensor has an anti-reflection coating and no optical low-pass filter, producing sharp and detailed images. The built-in ZEISS lens is tuned to the sensor at the micron level to ensure excellent sharpness and contrast across the frame.
The camera features an AI processing unit used in Sony’s top Alpha models. It detects and tracks eyes, faces, heads, and human bodies even when they are partially hidden. It covers around 78 percent of the frame with 693 phase-detection autofocus points. The Step Crop Shooting function lets users switch between focal lengths equivalent to 35mm, 50mm, and 70mm, and reselect them during RAW editing. The macro mode allows focusing as close as 20 cm, with a maximum magnification of 0.26x.
There are twelve built-in Creative Looks for photos and videos. FL2 gives muted, nostalgic tones, while FL3 produces bright and vivid images.
The RX1R III has a magnesium alloy body that is light and strong. It features a flat top, embedded dials, a comfortable grip, and a 2.36-million-dot XGA OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.70x magnification. The NP-FW50 battery offers up to 300 still shots and can be charged via USB Type-C.
Pricing & availability
The Sony RX1R III is priced at ₹4,69,990 and will be available across Sony Centers, Alpha Flagship stores, authorized retailers, and major e-commerce sites in India from October 10, 2025.
