Top & Left vs margin-top & margin-left

Viewed 16967

What is the difference between using top and left properties and top and left margins?

I know top and left are usually used in position:absolute situation but I'm still wondering if there is any major difference.

ex:

position:absolute;
top:5px;
left:5px;

-vs-

margin-top:5px;
margin-left:5px;
