    • First fully integrated dual 65mm 4K digital large-format 3D camera.
    • Delivers stunning image quality and is smaller, lighter and easier to use than other 3D digital camera systems on the market.
    • It is a true 4K stereo camera. This means that both the left eye and right eye images are captured at full 4K resolution.
    • Transformers: Age of Extinction is the first feature film to ever use the new IMAX®3D Digital Camera.
    • Exclusively in IMAX® theatres, sequences filmed with the IMAX® 3D Digital Cameras will be presented in a 1.9:1 aspect ratio – offering moviegoers 26% more of the image than standard cinemas for a truly immersive IMAX® 3D experience.
    • The production team on Transformers: Age of Extinction was able to capture major action sequences of the film – including chase scenes and helicopter shots – in high-resolution 3D in a way that was previously impossible thanks to the compact size of the new

    Sorry for not posting my impressions with the link.

    I would say: no need of two cameras and two sets of lenses, no expensive and heavy rigs, no getting crazy to collimate the lens and videos, no hundred feets of cables, less crew people around the camera. If we added all these costs, maybe it would be a covenient option even for a medium-low budget 3D movie. (No need to make Transformers 4, or anyway, not only that.)

    Good thing to understand - you actually need to change distance between lenses for different scenes (large for big landscapes and small for indoor ones).

    Anyone who used consumer 3D cameras know about their disadvantage, and this is why people use 3D rigs.
