My skill level is still very much amateur, however I often find my self in far less than perfect settings. Those darn animals just refuse to be found in good lighting! This statement is crying out for the high ISO capabilities of the 5D. I don't think I'd really trust the 30D to give clean shots at 800ISO, something I'd happily ask the 5D to do.

The 30D at high ISO is no slouch. https://photography-on-the.net …p?p=2508699&postcount=393Gear List

Jon_Doh Senior Member  More info | May 01, 2007 09:02 | #18 go over to dcresource and check out the shots taken at 800 ISO and I think you'll be very impressed. Minor, if any, differences between the 30D and 5D at 800. If you really want to appreciate the 30D while you're over there take a look at the Nikon d200 at 800 ISO - Yikes! I use a Kodak Brownie

I just re-read the OP post. You do have a good point. It's just hard not to recommend the 5D after just upgrading from an XTi. And I have no business speaking against 30D as I have not had the pleasure to use it yet.
