Why Do Dslr Pictures Come Out Better Than Point And Shoot?

How come picture’s on a DSLR camera come out much sharper and nicer than a Point and Shoot camera? Any reason why?

Why Do Dslr Cameras Have Lower Zoom Range Than Point And Shoot?

I’m confused about this. DSLR cameras are generally always more expensive than Point and shoot cameras. But why is it that DSLR cameras have a lower zoom range than P&S? For example, if a DSLR came with a 17-45mm lens (I’ve been told to divide 45/17 = 2.6x zoom) but some cheap P&S cameras have 5x zoom.
So does that mean P&S cameras can zoom further than DSLR?

Digital Slr?

I’m somewhat of a newbie to cameras, but not as much as some. I have several point and shoot cameras, no digital slr’s.
what brand,make or model do you suggest to purchase,and why? I’m looking in the maximum of $700 before tax range.
I was somewhat interested in the nikon d40x and the canon rebel xti (or something like that).
What are your thoughts?
