1. An optical module for a digital image capturing device (DICD), the optical module comprising:
a first integrated sensor-lens assembly (ISLA) defining a first optical axis, the first ISLA including:
a first lens;
a first image sensor fixed in relation to the first lens; and
a first mount configured to support the first lens and the first image sensor, the first mount including a first exterior receptacle;

a second ISLA defining a second optical axis offset from the first optical axis, wherein the first ISLA and the second ISLA are identical in configuration and are oriented in generally opposite directions, the second ISLA including:
a second lens;
a second image sensor fixed in relation to the second lens; and
a second mount configured to support the second lens and the second image sensor, the second mount including a second exterior receptacle, wherein the first exterior receptacle and the second exterior receptacle are oriented in facing relation so as to collectively define a cavity; and

a bridge member configured for receipt within the cavity to thereby fixedly secure together the first and second ISLAs, wherein the bridge member is configured as a discrete structure separate from the first and second ISLAs.
