What You’ll Experience

Plus, Sony is offering free gear cleaning—first come, first served—for one camera or lens (external components and select internal parts). Any major servicing beyond cleaning may require approval (Sony | Alpha Universe).


Why You Should Attend

The RX1R III is Sony’s latest premium compact full‑frame camera, equipped with a 61‑megapixel back‑illuminated Exmor R™ sensor, BIONZ XR™ processor, and the iconic ZEISS® Sonnar T* 35 mm f/2 lens. It also features 693 phase-detection autofocus points, advanced AI tracking, and a step crop function to simulate 35 mm, 50 mm, and 70 mm focal lengths—all in a sleek, precision-crafted magnesium alloy body (Sony | Alpha Universe).

This live event gives photographers the rare chance to experience these capabilities firsthand—long before the product rolls out widely to retailers. If you’re you at even find a production sample.
