 Well, the other problem with "point and shoot" is that almost every camera, 
 including virtually all of the current pro-level SLRs, has a point and shoot 
 mode (or, usually, several).  And many of the cameras that fall into the 
 "point and shoot" category actually have full manual control (like the one 
 I have).  So the name isn't even really accurate.  But, hey, it's what we 
 call them, so whatever.
