Next week in The Onion: "Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Cameras"

"Stop. I just had a stroke of genius. Are you ready? Open your mouth baby birds, cause Mama's about to drop you one sweet, fat nightcrawler. Here she comes: Put another flash on that fucker, too. That's right. Five cameras, two flashes, and make the second one bounce. You heard me—the second flash bounces."

Well shieeeet... Didn't notice that.

I find it interesting that it's easier/cheaper (probably marketing also) to slap some more cameras in it than say a row of lenses that slide across like one of those six lens iphone cases.
