I'm really close to buy the F3 and my only problem is the lack of NTSC/PAL switch. I travel a lot between europe and USA and it has been so great with the Ex1 having this option. Do you know if Sony has any intend to bring this functionality in new firmware? Is this even possible with just a firmware update because I was thinking why they left this feature out in the first place? It would suck to get the PAL version and get flicker from the 60hz electricity while being in the states and vice versa. I think LED- lighting would be ok but at least with tungsten you get the flicker. How have you guys been dealing with this fact so far?
