new sea & sea DX-1G camera announced


bhphotovideo lists this camera for 999USD (not yet available).

interesting points:

  • weird hotshoe accepts an LED flash that can be used for triggering up to two strobes through optic fiber cables without firing the internal camera flash.
  • wide angle starting at 24
  • add-on wide angle wet-lens gives 16mm
  • shutter lag time of only 0.1 sec (full shutter press)
  • rated to 50m
  • camera (most likely Ricoh GX100) might have the same ccd sensor as the G7 (from a post in a discussion forum)
  • RAW (about 4sec write time ?)
  • its battery lasts 350 clicks, but can also use AAAs (50 clicks)
