There B three big reasons:
1) depth of field will be greater on the smaller sensor due to smaller sensor size and
2) lens apertures on P&S are not so wide.
3) pixel density is higher on P&S camera.

Dese reasons mean that when photo taken, more area in front and behind subject will B in focus and look sharper in bright conditions. Plus P&S in your example has more pixel density, so will have higher resolution.

But SLR shot, done right, will be sharper under more conditions (dim light, moving subjects, portraits, etcetera). The SLR is better at gathering light, which means U can use faster shutter speeds and/or have less image noise. And on SLR, U can use more sophisticated lens too.

Hope this helps :)
