Oh yes, you're right Jon....Sony came out with the EX3 so fast after the EX1 that the manufacturers seemed to have just skipped the EX1 with the exception of Gates, who seems to make manual housings for cameras that do not even exist yet. ;0

A friend of mine has the Gates for his EX1 and he had some port issues in the beginning that were written off to teething issues as Gates fixed it all.
