What should I buy? MTB or BMX?

Hey everyone!
I'm a 19 year old guy and thinking of buying a new bike, as my old one is really destroyed. I'd use the bike to ride on trail bycicle paths, 'cause I love nature and taking pictures of it, so the bike is good to reach those places.
Because of this, I would use my bike mainly in nature, e.g. fields, mountain paths or forests/woods. I know that in this case MTB should be the only option, but here's the deal: I'm 5'7" (171cm), so not really the tallest guy who has everly walked on earth another thing is, that I prefer small bikes, as I tend to have problems controlling a big MTB.
Now what would you recommend on buying? A 26" MTB or a 20" BMX? Are BMX really that bad for nature paths / trials?
Or maybe a 20" MTB, if they exists? But I'm afraid that while 20" BMX look rather cool, a 20" MTB just looks childish. Don't know, though. Help
