Akihabara News has reported Japanese company Sea & Sea, renowned for its underwater casings for cameras, has recently announced a digital camera. Coined the DX-2G, it has similar specifications to Ricoh's GX200 which has a 12-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD and RAW image capture. If that's not enough, even the designs of these two point-and-shoot look similar.

The tech blog managed to contact Sea & Sea which categorically denied any resemblance between its shooter and Ricoh's. However, any discerning consumer would be able to pick out the similarities at a glance. That said, the DX-2G has an underwater mode which makes sense, since the camera is manufactured by a company that specializes in underwater imaging equipment.

According to Sea & Sea Singapore, the DX-2G is available worldwide for S$1,450 (US$1,039.80) now with a housing that can go down to maximum depth of 55m.
