So far I understand that point and shoot cameras are cameras that use an optical view finder, rather than a semiautomatic mirror. But they differ from SLR cameras because: why?
Please Help?
Thanks!!

it's the exact opposite . . .
Point and shoot cameras use an electronic viewfinder. SLRs have a mirror and a prism and an optical through-the-lens viewfinder.
DSLRs have larger sensors than point and shoot cameras, plus they have detachable/interchangeable lenses.
