Are you being serious?

That would not be 2 cars and a motorcycle put together.  That would be two engines put together inside one car.  Engine != car.  Pretty simple concept.  Should I make a picture for you.  Maybe a little pop up book to help explain.

Lenses != camera.

Natal are a couple of lenses put together inside one camera.

Natal is a camera.

Oh lord.  It has two seperate cameras, not two seperate lenses.  1 camera captures RGB signals.  The other captures infrared signals.  There is also an infrared generator that sends out pulses of infrared.  So both of these cameras require different sensors, so, no they are not just two lenses.  They are two seperate cameras.

Jaggedsac is 100% correct, however, there is a type of camera that has two lenses in it. These are called TLRs as opposed to single lens SLRs, and have the advantage of being quieter and having reduce shutter lag, due to having 1 less moving part. However, in this camera the light travels through both lenses before hitting the photosensitive area
