Real talk: those lenses aren’t worth basing your whole buying decision on.

To answer the question you asked, the smallest camera Canon ever made in EF mount is the Rebel SL series. It’s a little pricey for its features even second hand. The EOS 800D (Rebel T7i) is only slightly bigger, has a much better low light AF system and is generally available for less.

My recommendation though would be to sell those lenses and get something more in line with your photography goals. Do you really want interchangeable lenses? Because you can get prosumer point and clicks with better quality integrated lenses, and ditching the whole mounting system saves a ton of weight and space.

If you want interchangeable lenses, look at something mirrorless. Canon, Sony, Panasonic. Find a good lens or three and base your body purchase around that. If your lens inventory value isn’t 5-10x the value of your body, you probably would have been better off with a point and shoot.

On that side, look at the Sony DSC-RX100 series. And pay attention to the lens. At some point in the series, Sony switched from a 24-70 to a 28-200; if you’re looking at an old enough model that it’s got the 24-70, Sony makes a brand new “budget” model called the ZV-1 that’s basically an updated older RX100.
