I inquired at Ikelite about the new revision house for the S2, i want full control you know
this is the e-mail I received, mixed news it is.
Thank you for the inquiry. Ikelite hopes to introduce a new version
housing for the S2 Pro in possibly March. Specifications for this new
version housing are not yet finalized but we hope to offer full
control of the S2 camera. The price may be 60% higher than the
current model offered.
Regards, Duane / Ikelite
So its comming, but will be expensive !

I talked to Ike recently and he had told me that 'perhaps' the new back will made to work for the S2. There is a few controls I would like access to, but I am unsure whether I am going to get them:
1. Access to change focus zones
2. Access to histogram function
3. Access to the CSM controls
4. A better designed Aperture control button (the current one drives me nuts)
5. The movement of the camera to the FRONT of the housing instead of the back so I can change media/batteries without having to take the complete housing out of the housing.
I am not that interested in review/delete functions (while I wouldn't say no to), but the above are things I would really like. I am not going to get most of them as it would involve redesigning the front of the housing as well (i.e. a whole new housing), but it doesn't hurt to ask (constantly).
