Interesting question.
Whereas means: "in contrast or comparison with the fact that."
Example: You treat the matter lightly, whereas I myself was never more serious.
In everyday usage, I would say that "but" conveys the same meaning as "whereas", as long as "but" is used to introduce something contrasting with what has already been mentioned.

Hi,
A small extra comment.
To my mind, 'whereas' suggests a somewhat stronger contrast.
