Curiosity question:  what "category" would a camera like the RBT
X2/X3/X4 cameras fall into?  They're like an SLR camera, except
of course, there are *two* lenses -- with everything else being
the same as in the description above.  Can't call it TLR (Twin
Lens Reflex) because that means something else.  DLR (Dual
Lens Reflex) maybe?
