Inon showed the new S-2000 strobe at the DEMA show a few weeks ago. I am still waiting for images from them so we can put the item on our site...but as of right now the strobe is not yet available. I am waiting for an ETA from Inon America and will post it here once I find out.
 
Ok I heard back from Inon today. Although Japan has not exact date, it is likely they will be in by year's end. Attached is a couple of shots we have of the new strobe. Pricing is not yet known.

Hi guys

I don't mean to barge in on this thread but I found this today on another 'board. Cannot vouch for the accuracy but some misinformation may be better than no information at all.. On wetpixel a member posted that the s-2000 will have a release date of 12/28. Given that I am a new member I cannot post a URL. If you go to wetpixel.com and search thread 23670 you can find the post. Sorry I cannot link you there directly.

Cheers

• Seatool Rebel XTi - finally a tiny SLR
Description

There are over four ways for you to adjust the power output of this strobe! STTL, External Auto, Full Manual, and Full Power. Here is a brief description of those controls as well as a few other things we love about the D-2000.

Universal STTL
Made for the true ìpoint and shooterî the Inon D-2000 uses a fiber optic cable to read your cameras metered pre-flash. The D-2000 is then capable of very accurate STTL exposures. You can also adjust between full power STTL and Low. The low setting is there just in case you need a little less light than what STTL is giving you. The D-2000 is able to do this with most cameras from almost all manufacturers.

External Auto
For cameras that donít have a pre-flash just set the Inon D-2000ís aperture to match your camera and fire away! If you want to fine tune your exposure there are 24 stops of control for you to add or subtract light.

Full Manual
For the budding pros who want complete control over the creative process you can set the Inon D-2000 to full manual. There are 13 steps of manual control to add or reduce flash brightness. This is the most manual settings of any strobe!

Twin Flash Tubes
Creating a larger flash area, the Twin T configured flash tubes give you a 100 degree circular light beam! Most strobes have an elliptical shape to their beams forcing you to fit your subject into an oblong shape. The circular shape allows easier judgment for subject composition.
