Because you're going into competition - an oblong image that fills the screen will
likely do better in judging than a square one, using SLR's frees you up to use other
focal lengths, or faster lenses for nightscapes, but excellent shots "on the fly" are
grabbed by cameras like the Realist.  Many stereo users use twin-camera rigs or
slidebars for their competition slides, while shooting countless snapshots on a Realist
for personal use.

     Is it easy to perfectly synchronize the two shutters perfectly?   Can you take a
picture with moving objects without having things such as cars pop out into the sky?
By moving, I mean faster than an anorexic without any clothes :-)
