The sensor is the same in both cameras. The difference is the Rebel body
uses more plastic. Because of this, the Rebel is about 1 lb. lighter. The
other differences are software (although a hacked version of the Rebel
software minimizes this) and prism versus mirror for the viewfinder.
There has been some discussion about operating temperature on another forum.
Phil championed the cause as the camera being nearly useless above some
ambient temperature, but some Floridians have shown that even at there high
nighttime temps that are still able to achieve success with this uncooled
camera.

no matter what they say about dark current, Phil T's results with the Rebel
indicate it needs to be cooled. I am not sure if the 10D is any different in
that regard. I think it uses a different sized sensor but my guess is the
technology used to make it is the same. Phil, can you confirm?
