The image recording apparatus (3) of small dimensions includes a sensor (4) and a lens assembly formed of focussing lenses (8, 9, 10) arranged in a frame (12). The sensor is arranged on a first face (16) of a support (18), which has an aperture (20) facing which is arranged the photosensitive surface (6) of said sensor. On the other side, on the second face (22) of the support is arranged the lens assembly frame such that the lenses are substantially aligned with the support aperture and the photosensitive surface. The sensor is formed of a semiconductor substrate defining the photosensitive surface and having at the periphery thereof pads or bumps for electric contact with the support.
