More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 10D and D30.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon 10D to provide greater detail because of its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern 10D will have a benefit in sensor tech.
