One of the very nice things about DSLRs over regular Point and Shoot digital cameras is the latency. With a DSLR taking a picture is just like with a 35mm camera - press the shutter and you have a picture. If you had a motor drive on a real 35mm you could go through a full roll of film at 3-4 fps. With a DSLR you will have a buffer memory to flash card latency that will limit you to a smaller burst - typically 8 frames.

P&S cameras have a long latency - I miss more shots with them than you can speak of. Good for static scenes and posed stuff but not very good for fast action.
