DSLRs: generally very fast (depends on lenses), works quite well in low light situations
PnS: varies from camera to camera. Generally is much slower than DSLR and has trouble focusing in low light situations

DSLR: usually have 100 - 1600 range, some have 3200
PnS: various cameras have different sensitivity ranges, however, due to small sensor sizes photos tend to have too much digital noise at higher ISOs

DSLRs: sensor size is big compared to point-and-shoot cameras. Typical DSLR sensor size is 22 x 15 mm or bigger
PnS: sensor size usually is very small and usually less than 8 x 6 millimeters
Larger sensor means shallower depth of field - more trouble focusing and lower digital noise - higher image quality.

DSLR: almost all do not offer live view. Only optical through-the-lens viewfinder can be used to compose the shot.
PnS: all offer LCD screens for composition, some also have small optical viewfinders or electronic viewfinders that are essentially small LCDs that appear like viewfinders

DSLRs have many interchangeable lenses that are suitable for many different situations. There are also many flashes to choose from.
Lenses of P&S cameras can not be changed and only few (usually most expensive) camera models have lens attachments or flashes available.
