 5.  Not easy to get an internal wired sync. With the push buttons one can 
get 
 to 1/10 second at best.  So, in some of the 3D pictures, I have birds with 4 
 wings and people with 3 legs.  Since this camera is weather proof. I don't 
 like to break into the inside to do the hot wiring without the 
manufacturer's 
 instruction.  It is also a two-stage trigger.  I have to practice with; 
first 
 click "focus", and second click "shoot" sequence every time in order to get 
a 
 better sync.
 
 6.  This is a shutter priority system. If the light level is low, it will 
 select a larger lens opening first, thus reduce the depth of field, which is 
 not preferred for stereo photos. In order to overcome this problem,  I use a 
 faster film, such as the Ektachrome 400 to maintain at f 11 for most the 
 time.  Some may think the grain of the film is not acceptable, but with my 
 test results, I found it over all usable.  With the ISO 400 film, the 
 build-in flash will light up to 27 feet with negative film and 19 feet with 
 slides. Great for parties.
 
 7.  No manual override for exposure controls.  When sunlight hits the photo 
 sensor directly, it will cause the picture to be way under exposure.  So, 
 shade the cameras with you hand or something, which is difficult to do when 
 you need both hands on the triggers.  This is a common problem for most P&S 
 cameras.>>

These certainly sound like fatal flaws to me.  If you're willing to accept 
thise limitations, there are hundreds of good cameras out there you can work 
with.  Personally, I believe that if you can't sync the cameras, you're just 
letting yourself in for frustration that will eventually force you to seek a 
better way.
