Stop action/stereo camera?

[P3D <MDRobb@xxxxxxx>]

A few weeks back there was some discussion about a Fuji camera
with multiple lenses that was used to analyze golf swings.  I just ran
across something similar.  It's called a "4x Action Cam".  This 
camera has four lenses, two of which are mounted above the other
two, in the following configuration:       
                                                         X   X
                                                         X   X

The advertisement says there is approximately a 1/6 second delay
between each lense opening.  I am assuming it is using some type
of rotating shutter.  It produces four images on a standard size print.
The camera is listed at $24.98 in the catalog (Lillian Vernon) and 
appears to be all plastic.  I've seen a similar camera at a camera
show for about $5.00.

I'm sure there is some stereo application that this camera could be
used for.  If not, it would be a lot cheaper than the Fuji camera for 
analyzing your gold swing.  :-)
