"Vintage cameras were produced in all sizes, formats, and functions, but even within one micro-category—inexpensive tourist **point-and-shoots**—there were differences in body shape, flash configuration, and button style."
Das ist die Bildunterschrift in einem Buch. Ich weiß, was der Begriff bedeutet und mir ist so, als ob es da einen ähnlichen im Deutschen geben müsste - der fällt mir aber nicht ein.
Kennt jemand eine ähnlich anschauliche Formulierung?

: Doesn't quite hit the nail on the head. Cheap P&S cameras in earlier years were often anything but compact, in fact, some were pretty big.

einfache Fotoapparate
Both terms, Point & Shoot an P&S are commonly used in German-language photographic literature- magazines, advertising, etc. so you could write them in Gänsefüßchen.
However, as a collector of classic, vintage and other photographica, I would personally prefer to use "einfache Fotoapparate" (simple cameras), as this avoids the need for defining a period in which they were made.
Vintage in the world of photography is a very flexible definition and a nice way of saying technically outdated, obsolete or old. It may even refer to cameras form only a couple of (technical/technological) generations ago.

Other alternatives are "Knipserkamera" or einfache Urlaubsknipser
Although the latter is frequently used to describe the person using it :-)
