As soon as anyone has access to 2 Rebel T2i or 550D cameras can they please measure the distance between the center point of the two lenses. It doesn't matter which lenses as long as they are the same and the bodies are butted up against each other for maximum closeness. Measure either in millimeters, centimeter, or inches.

This is to test the inter-axial for potential 3D filming.
 
Can't you just do this with the high res press images online?

Edit:

Here you go:

You know the diameter of the lens threads which gives you the reference scale. You also have the camera dimensions from Canon and the hot shoe spec. I'm sure you can figure it out from that.

My eyeball guess is ~110mm.

Edit2:

Actually, if you keep them both upright, its really a trivial logic problem. The distance is equal to the right half of the left camera plus the left half of the right camera which is just simply the total length of one whole camera which is 129mm.
