Ron,

I have mounted two Pentax wide-angle point-and-shoots together and fired
them simultaneously with the remote. It works great. You can't quite get
the lenses close enough so stereo is a bit exaggerated. I haven't tried
bottom-to-bottom with them yet. The lenses are great and the cameras
wind themselves. The only drawback is that sometimes the automatic
exposure control doesn't quite synch up. sometimes in a borderline
situation, one camera will fire its flash and another won't. Or they'll
be a stop off. But mostly, it works. The remote works with a slight
delay and the cameras have to be pointing at the subject as you fire the
remote--so you're standing there for a few seconds as the cameras do
whatever they do before the shutter goes off. 

What's that saying about great minds?

Michael.
