Point and shoot camera

Point and shoot camera about the easiest way of describing simple compact digital cameras that are inexpensive and designed for novices. They offer fully-automatic shooting modes that don’t require any particular photographic know-how and zoom lenses which cover most everyday needs. The picture quality from point and shoot cameras is only average, though, and there’s little scope for overriding the camera’s automatic modes. In fact many casual photographers find smartphones offer similar quality but greater convenience.
