What is the difference between BufferedStreams and Channels in java ?

I have seen that Channel has got more preference over BufferedStreams.Suppose i have writeen a program to copy a file.If i use Channel there then the speed with which the information is transfered is more speedy then the one with BufferedStream.
Can anyone tell me the reason why channel is more speedy than BufferedStream ?
