What!? That sounds a bit overkill to me. Did they specifically tell you to put every electronic device in a separate bin or did you just assume that this needed to be done? I always travel with an iPhone, camera and 1 (sometimes 2) laptop(s) and the only thing that goes in a separate bin is the laptop. I have never seen anyone having to put their cameras, iPods and cell phones in separate bins.
