Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II
Compact Digital Camera w/ 1-Inch Sensor and 3-Inch LCD Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth Enabled (Silver)

Canon has produced many cameras with one-inch sensors, but none with the minuscule 1.20” x 3.90” x 2.30” measurements this one has – it’s also 7.2 oz (which is lighter than a hamster).
It still boasts a Digic 7 image processor delivering a 20.1 megapixel quality, up to 8.2 fps continuous shooting, and upgrades on the older model – this includes improvements to the time-lapse feature, and processor speed. The silver and brown option adds an old-fashioned, timeless quality.
