Housing for Sony Nex 3 or Olympus e-pl1

[gearhound]

I was just wondering if you are planning housings for these cameras. I've been thinking of upgrading from my Canon S90. There are housings readily available for the e-pl1, but haven't seen any on the market for the Sony NEX3. A couple for the NEX5, but not the NEX3
I'm not too worried about the release date, but would like to know that there is something in the pipeline. It would actually affect my purchase decision between the cameras if you weren't developing a housing for them.

We do intend to support both NEX-3 and NEX-5 cameras in the future.

Thank you very much for the quick reply! I'm trying to decide between the two. I really like my Ikelite housing, af35 strobes, pro8 lighting and WA lens for the s90. They,ve given me great results and were compact enough to take sidemounting in caves. But underwater photography and videoing is very addicting. So I'm looking to step up to one of these systems. Nothing in the pipeline from you for the Olympus e-pl1 then? I guess that means I'll get the Sony NEX3.
Thanks again!

I expect a housing for the E-PL1 to be available around the same time as the housing(s) for the NEX-3 and NEX-5.

D'oh! Now you've made it a hard decision again!
