| Could someone with both a low end P&S and a DSLR please shoot the same photo with both cameras and post the results? I really am curious to see the difference in a controlled shooting comparison. |

You won't see it here on the web.
I have a 1Mp p&s and a 300D. The p&s is full auto, has no iso options, no MF, no manual anything. I can takes it pics and make a nice print without any editing.
My 300D has ISO from 100 to 3200. it is 6Mp so I can crop in a lot but cannot show you that difference here on the web. It is instant when I hit the shutter - no lag. I can create all kinds of DOF/bokeh effects with my 300D that the P&s has no hop eof making. I can do multi-minute exposures, not possible with the p&s. And the 300D assumes that the image will have some PP work done on it. Just to make it more difficult, different lenses will appear differently (sharpness, color, contrast)- should I use a $75 lens or a $5000 one? What is a fair comparison?

And, at 640 max size, you can't see the real difference anyway. Blow it up to 11"X14" and the differences are readily apparent...

What Prof_Fate said is true. dSLR is superior not only in the final output quality but also in the process of creating the image.
However, I'd like to add that photos taken using a sensor from a dSLR is of better quality. This is due to the photodiodes and all that crap. Some would say it's the lens, but I'd disagree because even the same lens used on a tiny P&S sensor wouldn't compare to the dSLR's sensor - one of the ONLY reasons why I'd like to someday get a dSLR. |

Still, someone could shoot the same "difficult" shot with both and show 100% crops; this would indicate the difference the sensor makes...

One of the main concepts behind this site at the beginning was to limit the big advantages of equipment differences.
I still like the concept of your eye and imagination counting more than your pocketbook. This site should not be about whether P&S or DSLR's are better (that is a moot point enyway...DSLR's are superior in the majority of the applications which goes with the logic).
If you really want to see the technical differences of the different cameras no site or single person can do as good a job as Digital Photography Review.
They test most of the cameras out there and they shoot the same subjects so you can compare the results. Plus, Phil (the site owner) has done so many reviews you don't have to worry about glitches.

dpreview posts a standard studio shot with all the cameras it tests. You could go there and see.
