Another difference involves the entire internal setup of the camera. An SLR - single lens reflex -- has a mirror inside, which is why you can't (usually) have live preview on digital SLRs. The mirror has to flip out of the way when the lens opens. P&S cameras have a different optical system. The differences in the systems internally is why you can do all the different things Nadine explained.
