Hi,
    Funny, of all my stereo cameras (to date) I've considered none to be
sharper than my Vivid, including my Realists.  My one vivid isn't a great
statistical sample though (or my one or two each of the other brands).

P.S. - Whether it has overlapping images, I don't recall.  A number of my
           cameras do,  but it hasn't bothered me any in a practical way so I
           don't recall which is which.  Maybe my Vivid is one of those, heck
           it was designed as a 7P camera, so exposing only 5P is enough of a
           strain as it is!  :-)
