But once you're done the shutters always fire together, you never roll one 
camera to the next frame and forget the other, the lenses are always at the 
same focus and f-stop....less weight, too!  I'm an American.  I love 
convenience.

I guess the big flaw with using a purpose-built camera is that if you lose a 
roll of film, you lose both halves of your pair rather than just one.  (-:
