Both mean "you", but nuance is different. The word 당신 is one of very tricky words because you may never hear this word in any Korean speaking conversation. A Korean, I'm even frustrated by those dictionaries still having this word as a translation for English "you". How different is it from 너/너는? The answer must be long.

I would use 님 (nim/Nim) instead of 당신, when the word "you" needs to be translated into Korean in a formal form. 님 is a native Korean word, connoting respect for other people. For example:
넌 참 열정적이야. You are so passionate. 😀 (informal)
당신은 참 열정적이시네요 😛 (archaic)
님은 참 열정적이시네요 😀 (formal)
