No they are non-point and shoot cameras. It’s not about the common steps, it’s about the fact that point and shoot is the entire list of all steps necessary to take a picture with point and shoot. That’s ALL there is, no other steps. All the other cameras there other stuff BESIDES point and shoot.
The logic of is quite simple. And has been explained to you enough times that you’re starting to look like a person arguing just to be arguing. No other camera can take a quality picture with the user ONLY pointing and shooting, thus why we call point and shoot cameras point and shoot.
“It’s not about the common steps, it’s about the fact that point and shoot is the entire list of all steps necessary to take a picture with point and shoot.”
You don’t seem to understand, so let me try to explain it simply. Names are dreamed up to distinguish things from eachother. One does not distinguish things by what they have in common. If all cameras involve pointing and shooting, and they do, it’s couterproductive to name any particular type of camera after said qualities.
“That’s ALL there is, no other steps. All the other cameras there other stuff BESIDES point and shoot.”
Yes, duh, I know that. The point is, calling them “point-and-shoot” doesn’t say that, no matter how much people pretend it does. And it’s just that, the pretending, that annoys me. It’s lazy. There are a million better ways to say it, and make it clear.
“The logic of is quite simple. And has been explained to you enough times that you’re starting to look like a person arguing just to be arguing.”
No, people aren’t explaining it to me, they’re being unresponsive. I don’t need to hear about focus and apertures. I know there are more steps involved the more complicated a camera is. I said so from the beginning. All this is beside the point. The term “point and shoot” does not express everything you’ve been saying. It simply doesn’t.
“No other camera can take a quality picture with the user ONLY pointing and shooting, thus why we call point and shoot cameras point and shoot.”
And that’s one of the things I hate about the world as it is. Silly little expressions which express nothing. People playing at speaking, toying with code words that they think are clever but are in fact pretty haphazard and shallow.
