Synchronizing Inexpensive Digital Camera Shutters

I have not found any stereoscopic cameras that meet my needs, so I
would like to assemble something that might. I want to rig two point-
and-shoot digital cameras together so they will record a stereoscopic
image. The problem is synchronizing the shutters. It should be
possible to use one camera for focusing, with the other camera set as
a slave. But, I don't know what circuitry would allow for this. Does
anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.
