10 best TINY CAMERAS with epic video too!

Micro Four Nerds listed the top 10 tiny cameras:

  • Lumix GX80 / GX85 – Chosen for its compact size, 5-axis IBIS and surprisingly good 4K quality. A great cheap hybrid starter camera.
  • Sony RX100 V – Ultra-pocketable with excellent autofocus and great 4K (short clips only before overheating). A tiny but capable daily carry.
  • Z Cam E1 – Weird but fun “sensor in a box.” Interchangeable lenses, 4K, Z-Log, and tiny size. Great for creative video snippets.
  • Panasonic Lumix G100 – Mis-marketed as a vlogging cam, but actually great behind the camera. Tiny, light, stabilized with OIS lenses, good EVF, mic input.
  • Canon PowerShot V10 – Modern, compact, video-focused camera with excellent built-in mics, internal ND filters, great touchscreen, long recording without overheating.
  • Caira – MagSafe micro four thirds “smart-camera” module for iPhone users. Great IQ, unique form factor, AI tricks, and easy instant sharing.
  • OM System OM-5 / OM-5 Mark II – Great photography camera with industry-leading IBIS and PDAF. Weather-sealed and tiny. Video is only 8-bit, but fine for small clips.
  • Sony ZV-1 Mark II – Pocketable hybrid with strong video features and good AF. Weak stabilization due to no optical IS, but still a solid small video/photo option.
  • Insta360 Ace Pro 2 – An action camera transformed into a “real” camera with the Explorer Grip. Excellent video, good 50MP photos, top stabilization, great audio.
  • Panasonic Lumix LX15 / LX10 – A tiny classic with a fast f/1.4 Leica lens, great 4K, strong stabilization, flip screen, and truly pocketable size.

Final Note: These cameras all balance size, image quality, and video capability — but the Lumix LX15/LX10 and Canon PowerShot V10 stand out as her personal favorites for everyday video clips.
