Surely point and shoot cameras are those used by point and shoot 
photgraphers.

Does the frase "Point and Shoot" make sence anymore, in the age of
digital/acomputerrized photography?
To me it seems that even small, easy to handle 2-4 MP cameras have
more
adjustable funtions than most professional cameras of the seventies
or
eighties. I guess a small 2MP camera can be more adjsutable than a
Pentax
MX!

At the same time most SLR's and DSLR's can be used as a Point &
Shoot
camera.
Most point and shoots of the 80s, starting with the Zoom 70, had more
features than most of the SLR cameras out there.
The term is a useful one, not to determine a feature set, but to
determine a camera type, in this case, a fixed lens rangefinder
variety.
