SUMMARY
The Sony RX1R Mark III faced ridicule at launch for its $5,100 price and lack of features like IBIS and a tilt screen. However, photographer Kyle Meshna argues for its reconsideration after an eight-month test, highlighting its unique 61MP full-frame sensor in a sub-500g body. Meshna praises its advanced AI autofocus and the character of its Zeiss 35mm f/2 lens, while acknowledging drawbacks such as the absence of IBIS, a basic EVF, and lack of weather sealing.
