Keydown is pressing the key without releasing it, Keypress is a complete press-and-release cycle.
Put another way, KeyDown KeyUp = Keypress

KeyPress is a higher level of abstraction than KeyDown (and KeyUp). KeyDown and KeyUp are hardware related: the actual action of a key on the keyboard. KeyPress is more "I received a character from the keyboard".
