So i got bored at work, wiki-ed "point-and-shoot" and naturally stuff about compact cameras differences to D/SLR's etc etc came up. But i realised it didnt mention the origin of the phrase.
So im thinking:
Arn't all cameras(stuff that captures still and/or moving images) = point and shoot?
E.g. A Video Cam. I point in the direction, aim in the viewfinder, and shoot by pressing the record button. Point and shoot.
Let's put this in another perspective: A revolver, A rifle, A cannon, A howitzer = Gun
What are your thoughts?
