Tough question. The best way is to use the same brand of camera with the same lens with both camera bodies and review each photo side by side. By far the biggest component in comparing SLRs with DSLRs is the image sensor in the DSLR.
Assuming your using comparable cameras this is what to look for: Resolution, depth of field and color latitude are the biggest points of interest for photographers making the jump from SLR to DSLR.
Resolution is easily tested by seeing at what point does the image get 'pixelated' (square blocks by zooming into the photo)
Depth of Field (DOF) is the area in focus vs out of focus. Also known as bokeh. This is tested by using a fast lens (low aperture, f stop) which will create small/shallow depth of field. This can be difficult because a small vs large sensor is a big contributor to DOF.
Latitude is tested by taking a photo of a color chart or a scene with dark and light objects. This will test the accuracy of the DSLRs sensor to color changes. Are the blacks black? Are some colors more bright then others? Does the DSLR favor certain colors over others?
These tests will give you a great starting point when comparing SLRs with DSLRs.
Too long, I know... :)
