Mike,

A variety of things can change since gdal_translate does not try to
preserve aspects of the original file that are not part of the GDAL
data model.  So for instance, if the input file was tiled, the output
file would be stripped unless you explicitly request stripped since
the GeoTIFF writer defaults to stripped.

Likewise, the coordinate system is normallized internally into WKT
format and then converted back to geotiff format.  So lots of little
things could be changed around, but the output file should be
*essentially* the same.

Best regards,
