How would a tiny robot see?

We have a tiny robot, insect like, barely five millimetres long, but with an almost perfect AI. The sensory input consists on an array of chemoreceptors, vibrissae, and cameras. It can fly through air or swim in water.

How would the cameras work? What would be the effects and physical limitations of their small size? Would it be able to see something that a normal sized robot with equivalent technology couldn't?

We can safely assume technology as advanced as necessary, as the story is set on an future of well established interstellar travel.
