This is the old page with old data. I ditched this old data and started over with fresh data on the new page on December 2, 2008.
This chart shows the size of many common low-end cameras, sorted by volume. I compiled this data from the smallish low-end cameras on sale at various web sites. For reference, I also added the Canon PowerShot SD10 from 2003, which remains (seemingly) the smallest camera you can buy. They don't make them like they used to.
Note: This table can be re-sorted by clicking on the headers.
