The Pentax Q comes in several variations, all incredibly small and compact. Secretly, it's one of my favourite camera systems of all time. Yes, it does have a tiny sensor, but don't let that deter you. You know what that makes? It makes for ultra tiny lenses to go with it!

The Lumix GX8 was the first Micro Four Thirds camera on the market with a 20-megapixel sensor and the first to feature Panasonic’s dual image stabilisation.
