The thing which makes this 2 cams different to me is the crop factor. Take a look at your lenses , the places you go and the style you take photos ----> Then you can make your decision .....

Well, you've got your decision there: The 30D. The 18-55 does not fit the 5D and if it did, it would not do it justice (neither does the 90-300 and 50-500 do it justice).

Be very carefull with Sigma DG lenses on the 5D or the 1Ds or any full frame sensors, i.e. sensors bigger than APS-C as they will cause vignetting, (light fall off on the corners) as they are designed for the smaller sensors. Buy a 30D and invest in some good glass.

LIPH, I have both and if its mainly aviation photography you will use it for then get the 30 with an L lens (70-200f2.8 or the 300f4). Money invested in some top quality lenses is a good investment - compare the price of a top LISUSM lens today to say 2 years ago, and then compare the price of a 300D when first released to a 350 today.
If your photography extends beyond aviation and say action photography (perhaps landscape, portrait, weddings, macro) then get the 5D.
However, if you do buy the 5D make sure you can put some quality L glass on the front of it. The results will be superb but your bank balance will take a large hit!
