Is there any material available on how to synchronize the shutters of two
disimilar cameras?
I would like to take my two cameras and try to construct a digital stereo
camera, but I haven't the slightest idea of how to sync the shutters.

I wouldn't think that exact synchronization would be required. Spacing
and aiming are more important to stereo pictures.

You can get a wireless remote shutter control and use one controller to
fire both cameras.

You can also buy two wired remotes and wire them into a single control
button that fires both cameras.

I never thought of this, but does having two "dissimilar" cameras
help, hurt, or have no affect on the stereo effect? I can't determine
it logically and I don't feel like the work to experiment. Our eyes
are slightly different, so the different cameras could help. I
suspect that it makes no difference since the different position would
overwhelm the subtler differences. (Wow, three uses of "different" in
one sentence. Ok, "ugh" would be more appropriate than "wow".)

All in all, if I could be any animal, I would want to be
a duck or a goose. They can fly, walk, and swim. Plus,
there there is a certain satisfaction knowing that at the
end of your life you will taste good with an orange sauce
or, in the case of a goose, a chestnut stuffing.
