Have you seen the "Twin Nikon Lite-Touch" article by Ed Comer? It is an
excellent article about the process of connecting together two Nikons.
Of course it does not address this particular model of camera, but will 
give you a good feel for the type of work that would be required. It's 
on my WEB site:

Look under the "3D Tutorial" link under "Using two cameras" for the
"Nikon Lite-Touch" camera link.

If you end up doing this, I'd LOVE to have you write up an article like
this for inclusion in the 3D Tutorial, if you are so inclined!
