Topics: Cameras : Subminiature
Subminiature cameras are usually defined as any still camera that exclusively uses a single film format smaller than 16.7mm x 30.2mm, which is the size of the Advanced Photo System's (APS) IX240 film. The size of the camera is not the determining factor, though in most cases these cameras are some of the smallest ever produced.There are a variety of contemporary and historical subminiature formats, including (but not limited to) Minox, 16mm, disc, and half-frame cameras.
Minolta 16
Minolta marketed the Minolta 16 line of cameras from 1957 to 1972. Although production has ceased for both the cameras and their 16mm cartridge films, some Minolta 16 enthusiasts continue to take pictures using recycled cartridges.
