Concerning the 1d mark IV, the problem is that if I buy one in a country outside the european union, then I have to pay the 30% or more in custom fees (and the fee is calculated including the delivery costs), and this make economically unconvenient the transaction. In Italy this happens for every product whose value is over 22 euro, including books (and this is not a case if many sellers refuse to deliver to italy).

The 1d mark III is still a very good camera, but the improvements in the mark IV about image quality and autofocus are quite noticeable (I have also tried the 1dx, but I still prefer the aps-h sensor format, since the 1.3 crop is useful, and I mainly use the 100-400 hand-held, possibly with the extender 1.4x). Probably in the next months the prices will decrease further.

Natteo, There are lots of cheap used Mark IVs for sale on the Used Photography Gear for Sale page. Do you have someone in the US who could accept a camera for you? artie
