Appareil photographique compact
A point-and-shoot camera, also called a compact camera, is a still camera designed primarily for simple operation. Most use focus free lenses or autofocus for focusing, automatic systems for setting the exposure options, and have flash units built in.

appareil (photo) visez-déclenchez
Although 'point-and-shoot' does seem to get sued quite a lot in FR, this legitimate version seems to be pretty widespread.
Note also this previous KudoZ question:
point and shoot > visez, déclenchez
(KudoZ) English to French translation of point and shoot: visez, déclenchez [Marketing / Market Research (Bus/Financial)].

: Too literal. On ne demanderait jamais dans un magasin, puis-je avoir un appareil visez-déclenchez? Pas en France en tout cas.
