Canon G9 multiple camera 3d setup

Hello knowledgable people,

I have been making gifs for a few years while using a 35mm camera with 4 lens' to create stereo gifs or wobble gifs as some people call them. I now want to try to replicate this using a series of digital cameras.

this sort of thing:

My original plan was to use a bunch of low level of DSLR's but after reading this forum I realise my best bet is to stick with a canon point and shoot the Canon G9 12 mp camera looks like a winner to me as it has a hot shoe so I can use off camera flash. It is also compatible with SDM.

I have done a fair bit of homework now but I am still finding it quite overwhelming.

I plan on making a camera trigger to fire the cameras shutters simultaneously I've watched a few youtube vids and it seems like I could probably handle that.

So I need to install SDM onto the SD card's of all 8 cameras then mount them all to a bracket.

Is there anything I am missing? And is the G9 my best bet for this application? I want something with a hot shoe the higher quality the better. I am hoping to use x8 cameras. I am worried I'll get inconsistent results as the only place I can find a G9 is Ebay.

Any insight from someone who knows more before i start buying up cameras would be really appreciated.

Thank you.
