Here are some frame sizes for small square format cameras:

40mm x 40mm -- 12 exposures on 127 roll film -- 'baby' Rolleiflex, Vest Pocket
Kodaks, and various other cameras (see

28.5mm x 28.5mm -- Instamatic 126 cartridge film -- mostly cheap snapshot
cameras (see http://user.itl.net/~kypfer/126film.htm )

24mm x 24mm -- 35mm film exposed in early Robot cameras (see
