This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,009, July 22, 2025. Today's theme is, "2 Big Updates - One Hot (Snapseed 3.0) and One Not (Sony RX1R III)." I'm Derrick Story.
Opening Monologue
Out of the blue, Sony announced the RX1R III full frame compact digital camera. At a time when well-heeled portables are popular, you'd think this 61 MP dream machine would be an instant hit. Maybe. And speaking of surprises, how about that Snapseed 3.0 update? Didn't see that one coming either. One of these I'm absolutely thrilled about, and the other has me scratching my head. Find out which is which on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

2 Big Updates - One Hot and One Not
Let's start with the Sony RX1R III. Here are some basic specs.
My favorite take on this camera was by Andy Day in his FStoppers article titled, Here's What the Sony RX1R III Should Have Included.
And don't forget, Canon is rumored to unveil the Canon G1x Mk IV by the end of the year...
If you like what you see with the Sony RX1R III, you can preorder it here for $5,098.
Now let's get to Snapseed 3.0. Here's a nice overview by David Nield on Popular Science titled, Google's forgotten iPhone photo editor just got a huge update.
And after testing the app, I have a few thoughts as well.
