And, trying to answer the question (although I don't have such a camera), I don't believe that DSLRs have many features not available in high-end P&S, although if some of those advanced features matter, you'd better research it. The main advantage of a DSLR is 1) you can use your SLR lenses, which means a) more focal length variation b) better glass overall and c) being able to use lenses wide open, so that there's little DoF, which is harder on the f8/5.6 lenses a lot of P&S's have (effective, compared to 35mm) and 2) most have a bigger buffer for faster continuous shooting.
