Is there any model of small cameras out there that can use the Canon lenses?

every micro 4/3 camera (i.e. olympus, panasonic) can use canon lenses with an adapter.

I really like my G15, it doesn't have interchangeable lenses but it shoots RAW and has a range finder.

- get a lens cap for it or you will scratch the lens with the shitty lens shutters like I didjacklalane
- you can get telephoto converter.pango

what's your goal? to get more range? the sensor-size difference, and the fact that your Canon EOS glass may not AF with compact camera adapters may drive you crazy.... unless it's a "try to see what happens" type of idea...

just exploring the idea of a smaller camera than my 60D

honestly, I'd be getting a compact camera all by itself rather than trying to put an EOS lens on anything else except maybe an EOS-M with adapter.... DSLR lenses on compact cameras are a strange beast, try before you buy, and beware that many old manual focus lenses work nicely on 4/3rds cameras with adapters, but EOS lenses may not work so well without a more complicated electronic adapter, which kind of clunks it all up and makes it almost as big as a DSLR anyway...
