(FT4) RX100M3 announcement next Thursday (May 15)


I got this from one trusted source and I hope to double confirm it soon (including exact announcement hour). The source said the RX100M3 will be announced on Thursday May 15. Specs have been confirmed by multiple sources and here they are again in case you missed to read them:


20MP sensor (same as RX100M2 model)

ISO 125-25600

24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens

Built in View finder (SVGA OLED Tru-Finder 1440k dots)

Tiltable screen (180 degrees up)

Record in XAVC S format (Same format of the Sony A7s but with no 4K output option).

Almost same size and weight as the current RX100/M2 models.

I have been told all other specs are the same of the current RX100II model.

Price is said to be around 800-850 Euro in Europe. Should be around $800-850 in USA (US price is my guess)

Sigma 18-35mm A-mount still scheduled for a late May release!


A couple of SAR readers contacted Sigma to ask if the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 A-mount lens will inded ship in May as previously stated by Sigma. They got a positive answer and expected first shipment for end of May! So if you want to preorder it click over at the Sigma page on Amazon US (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).


Note that also Redcoon Germany (click here) says the lens will ship by End of May:



Reminder: DxOmark tested the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens and said:



The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM A remains an outstanding example of what’s achievable with modern lens designs. And at $799, it’s reasonably accessible in price as well.



Reminder_2: The very best Sigma lens, the new 50mm ART can be preordered at Amazon US (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here)
