s 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
The Leica M11 is a full-frame digital rangefinder camera from Leica Camera AG. It was introduced on 13 January 2022. It uses a 60.3-megapixel image sensor, and is compatible with almost all Leica M mount lenses.

, 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.

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