This chart shows the size of many common low-end cameras, sorted by volume. I compiled this data from the compact point-and-shoot cameras on sale at various web sites. For reference, I also added the Canon PowerShot SD10 from 2003, which remains one of the smallest cameras. They don't make them like they used to.
I "rebooted" this table with fresh data on December 2, 2008. The old page is still available for reference.
Note: This table can be re-sorted by clicking on the headers.
