What is the difference of Compact, Mid-size and Full frame size DSLR

What is  the difference of Compact, Mid-size and Full frame size DSLR

There are basically three different sized DSLRs. I'll use Nikon as an example. 

All SLR cameras must have a mirror and a reflex viewfinder. ***

Compact SLR: A "compact SLR" is usually an entry level product such as a Nikon D3xxx or D5xxx. however some mid range products are quite small too, such as nikon D90, Olympus E-30.

Mid-size SLR: Mid-size SLR are usually semi professional products. This SLR usually with metal alloy construction and light weather sealing.  Nikon D7100, Nikon D300, Nikon D700, Nikon D800 are good example. as is Olympus E-5
