Fuji S2 availability?

I've been using an S2 in an Aquatica housing for just over a year. I'm thinking about buying a second S2 body as a backup. I was surprised to see that B&H have already dropped the S2 from their listing, and are now only showing the S3 "Coming Soon". Questions:

1. Should I be concerned that there may be no more S2's available in the near future?

2. Is the S3 body similar enough to the S2 that it would fit the same housing?

I know that cameras become obsolete quickly, but I thought I had a little time at least!

Hi Bruce,

There are still plenty of S2's available. I did a quick search for you:

The S3 is a radically different body, so sorry, no you won't be able to use it in your housing.

Yes, you should buy a second body, IMO. They aren't that expensive anymore.

Sincerely,

James Wiseman
