I just reserved my 5DMK3 and 24-105 in Zurich, it came in at around £3190 which is significantly cheaper than the £3700 it will be over here.
Is it possible to buy it taxfree in US if your exporting it privately? Then pay taxes in your own country?That's possible in Sweden.

If you order online or on the phone, and have it shipped to another state where that company does not have a "presence," you won't get charged tax. However, you're supposed to pay the "use tax" on your state taxes. Don't know the rules regarding ordering online/phone and having it shipped out of the US -- try calling B&H.

If the 5D3 will display photos from another camera, would it?

it will, you can take a card out of a 1D and put it in a 5D and view the raws or vise versa, or even an SD card from a 1D and view it on a rebel
