It is easier to convert a sophisticated camera into a point & shoot than the reverse.
If I wanted to convert my X-Pro1 into a point & shoot, here is what I would do:
1. Mount a 23mm f/1.4 (or 35mm f/1.4 or 35mm f/2) lens on the camera
2. Set f/stop on lens to auto
3. Set shutter speed on body to auto
4. If lens is a clutch lens, set clutch to auto focus position
5. Set lever on body to single auto focus
6. Set dynamic range in menu to auto
7. Set image type in menu to a high quality jpeg
8. Set white balance to auto
9. Set ISO in menu to auto with 400 base ISO; 6400 maximum ISO; and 1/60 second minimum shutter speed
Or... on a camera like Fuji's X70, one can accomplish all the above with the flick of one switch!
