pdastoor:
Hasn't been released in North America, but it is out in Asia and can be purchased on eBay.
It is in Russian but you can find more info here: http://prosound.ixbt.com/news/2016/july/08/tascam-dr-100mk3.shtml
Looks like it has all the features of the MKII expect it's missing the switch that lets to select Mic in or Line in option near the XLR ports. Also it is missing the switch that lets you select XLR, Uni, Omni or Line 2 input option that the older model had. Perhaps that is replaced in the menu?
Here is what my translation says:
Tascam DR-100MKIII - updated portable stereo tape

The device is the successor model DR-100MKII , and provides higher quality sound recording with enhanced "stuffing."

As DR-100MKII, renovated recorder is equipped with 4 built-in condenser microphones: two directional and two omnidirectional. This directional microphones in the DR-100MKIII have anti-shock suspension for reduced operating noise. Also, the novelty can boast the ability to record in 24 bits / 192 kHz, higher-quality preamps HDDA with low noise (EIN = -124 dBu) and analog-to-digital converters of the AKM AK4558, providing a signal / noise ratio of not less than 102 dB (in the mode Dual ADC SNR parameter reaches 109 dB). Another important advantage of the Tascam DR-100MKIII is the presence of combined inputs Mic / Line, implemented on the connectors manufactured by Amphenol.
Here are some other features new items and its differences from the DR-100MKII:
support for memory cards such as SDXC (maximum capacity - 128 GB);
a larger LCD screen resolution of 128 × 128 pixels and multi-language menu;
thermally stabilized precision crystal oscillator TCXO;
function Dual Recording, which allows to write two files in parallel on different levels;
new feature XRI (Extended Recording Information), allows you to save settings to have been recorded in the BWF file;
the ability to record audio in two different formats (WAV and MP3) at the same time;
a more powerful headphone output: 2 × 40 mW at 32 ohms;
the possibility of supply from Li-ion battery capacity of 3950 mA • h (which is two and a half times more than its predecessor), a pair of AA-size batteries, the optional adapter PS-P520E or separate unit BP-6AA batteries;
sturdy aluminum housing for use in extreme conditions.

Here is the specs page from Tascam Japan:

Looks very good on paper, with some features not usually found in recorders this small such as the dual record safety tracks. I notice an optical digital input on top which I believe replaced the mic in from previous versions.
This looks like it's aimed squarely at the Sony PCM-D100 market segment, both in features and in price.

Exactly what I was thinking: a D100 killer.
I find the "eXtended Recording Information" function intriguing. It also does 88.2 and MS decode. I wonder if the preamps are as good as the DR70D.
