snapshooters

Amateur camera users

Snapshooters are people who take snapshots—casual photographs taken quickly without elaborate setup or artistic pretension.

The term often distinguishes amateur photographers from serious practitioners: The gallery was full of snapshooters with their phone cameras.

In older usage, it could refer to someone who shoots a gun hastily without careful aim.
