1D Mark iv
After too many hours of research and a few sleepless nights :barb I have decided to purchase the Mark iv. The major retailers say it is back ordered with no good date of when it will return. There are plenty of other "companies" that have the camera body, but quite frankly after reading about gray markets products, I don't feel the need to take that chance. Fair assumption that if B&H, Adorama and a few other don't have them in stock, I should wait until they do ?
Thanks

A good used copy from a reputable firm is a viable alternative, and KEH.com has a single used copy in EX+ condition. A good used copy also commands a pretty high price as well.

Canon normally just quietly drops the model from their offerings on their website when they finally run out of inventory.
You can try to contact Canon USA, but you probably won't get a straight answer. Canon is very tight-lipped about production details.

That's sad. :cry I still regard it as one of Canon's best all-a-round professional bodies. (I was hoping for a Canon 1D MK IV-S.)

if you're in the stratosphere of cameras why not go for the 1DX
Losing the 1.3x crop and AF 'only' working to f5.6 would be issues for some - not knowing the OP's interests I don't know if they're relevant factors here.

I might have a couple of 1D4 bodies for sale shortly...
