Engineering:List of lightest mirrorless cameras

Short description: none

Samsung NX mini

This is a list of the lightest and smallest mirrorless digital cameras ever released with an interchangeable lens mount, excluding smartphones and action cameras, sorted by weight including battery and memory card.

Nearly all the lightest models have been discontinued, as smartphone cameras have rapidly improved and taken over their market. Some high-end smartphones now exceed several of these models in weight, sensor size, and functionality. (For example, an iPhone 15 Pro Max weighs 221 g, and a Galaxy S23 Ultra weighs 234 g.)

The lightest mirrorless cameras in production today are the Olympus E-P7 at 337 g and Sony ZV-E10 at 343 g. The lightest models in production with an electronic viewfinder (EVF) are the Panasonic G100D at 346 g and Canon R100 at 356 g. These models eschew certain hardware features that add weight, such as in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and weather sealing. Most newer models include one or more of these features, as the bulk of the mirrorless camera sector has moved upmarket.

All digital Leica M cameras, such as the Leica M11, are technically mirrorless cameras. The M11, at 530 g, is the lightest of them and nearly as light as some other cameras on this list here. But Leica M cameras are usually not considered mirrorless cameras and instead are grouped as rangefinder cameras, a differentiation dating back to when they co-existed with SLR cameras. Technically speaking, rangefinder cameras lack autofocus and employ a very different manual focusing method involving a rangefinder mechanism.

Lens-style cameras

Sony QX1

Lens-style cameras are lighter than all other interchangeable lens cameras with their respective sensor sizes, but they are usually not classified with other mirrorless cameras because they have no screen or viewfinder.

They are designed to be attached to a smartphone so that the phone’s screen can be used as the camera’s display.

Industrial cameras

Sony introduced a mirrorless camera designed for industrial applications that has no screen or viewfinder and no internal battery. It is lighter than all other full-frame interchangeable lens cameras, and as with other modular cameras it is designed to be attached to other hardware, e.g. a drone.
