Jim's right, by point and shoot I was referring to the way I shoot...I dont carry all my gear with me, it drives me mad because I don't have a proper backpack (yet) so hauling all the tripods, cell phone, wallet, keys, lens, camera in one little Lumix bag and pockets ruins my day before the day even starts.
So 95% of the time I just take the camera and walk around, look for something interesting, see it, focus, shoot and then move on. Sometimes I do take the tripod and stay in one location for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, depends, but most of the time I just walk around and shoot
