As some have said previously, all point and shoot cameras are mirrorless. A point and shoot, IMO, is a camera without a viewfinder. You use the LCD screen to frame your photo. Just like a smartphone. My 5 year old Nikon Bridge camera, the L840, with a LCD screen, has no viewfinder. I consider it a point and shoot camera. A Sony RX10iv is a high quality Bridge camera, with a viewfinder. But, I have never heard it classified as a point and shoot camera? Some pocket cameras fall in the same category.

I found a lot of confusion in the categories when I was looking for a bridge camera. My reference to a point and shoot camera was picked up in the filter section of camera sellers websites. My thought is that they do not have exchangeable lenses and have a lot of automatic settings. Very similar to what I think of a bridge camera. I don't know what their definition is for these terms.
