You obviously read into my comments what you wanted to read into them.
Since you're so confused let me repeat what I said a bit differently so that maybe you'll understand it better...it's not that difficult.
1) Yes the 5D is by most all accounts a better camera than the 30D - I never said it was not did I?
2) But the difference in IQ is not nearly as great as some people say it is. The differences are not even always noticeable. There are even times when the 30D can produce better images; longer telephoto shots for example can have better resolution.
3) I would probably own a 5D myself if I really thought it was worth more than double the cost of the 30D, but I don't.
4) There is a difference between build quality and size/weight. You're talking about one and I'm talking about the other.
5) Equipment snobs are everywhere and photography forums seem to have more than their fair share of them. If you can't see that there are *some* 5D owners who frequent the internet who fall into this category, you must be quite naive.
All-in-all, I'm just presenting another opinion. Don't get bent out of shape because it isn't the same as yours.

So there is certainly merit in what you are saying, but this 30D vs. 5D discussion has been geared more towards a WA comparison from the very first post, and in that respect the 5D is a clear winner. There are a hundred ways of arguing either side - I am merely trying to present the information that answers the OP's question.
