miniature camera

Palm-sized photo device

A miniature camera is a very small camera, either designed for concealment or simply compact enough for easy portability.

Spy cameras hidden in pens or buttons are miniature cameras, as are the tiny units in smartphones.

The term sometimes refers specifically to cameras using 35mm film, which was considered small when introduced: She traveled with just a miniature camera and a notebook.
