I use Canon Rebel X cameras.  I fire them simulaneously with a pair of Canon 
remote shutter release cables spliced together into a single button from one 
the the cables.  This is a three-position button: off, activate auto 
functions, and fire.  I'm not a technical person, but this was an easy 
splice.  Synch is nearly perfect, by which I mean it is absolutely perfect 
85-90 percent of the time with flash connected to the hot shoe of either 
camera.  I have no idea why it isn't perfect the rest of the time, but it's 
good enough for me.  I have had no synch problems at all when shooting 
without flash, regardless of how fast the dog's tail is wagging.  I had some 
initial problems with one of the cameras, but a trip to the authorized Canon 
service center seems to have solved them.  Since then, it's been smooth 
sailing.
