Re: 2x compact camera 3d rig suggestions.

Nobody mentioned Stereodata Maker which couples many Canon P&S cameras?? This is the easiest, one of the cheapest and certainly the most reliable way of synching two smaller cameras:

Synch for pictures is extraordinary (in the range of 0.1ms.) and synch for movies can be achieved with the latest firmware without the need for extra hardware, besides USB controller (ordinary switch with small battery, in fact). Synch is achieved by feeding both cameras with voltage signal from ordinary switch via USB connectors. Such controllers can be bought extremely cheap and they work perfectly, but you can easily make one by yourself if you wish so.

The list of cameras on the first link above is not up-to-date. For example, S100 and S110 are also supported.

If you have any question, you can ask on the forum (the second link).
