Re: [APML] Re: OT: Canon 10D Price

In answering the question "is there a difference between Canon 10D and 
Canon 300D "Rebel", Keven Wigell (below) points out there are strong 
differences in features and in the camera body quality. These are 
irrelevant for astrophotography insofar as I can determine (they have to do 
with focusing on moving objects, different exposure indices, etc). All we 
care about is the CHIP, and this is identical as far as I can determine in 
the two cameras.
