Anytime you see something cool with a global shutter (like this does), the next gen of the same thing will use a rolling shutter and be half or less the price.

Global shutter makes the math of everything easier, and is therefore good for getting a product out the door quicker, but rolling shutter cameras are cheaper and perform better.

Arducam actually makes one with stereo depth sensing that has global shutter. (I've never tried it though)

Unless you’re moving fast, then a rolling shutter introduces that “slant” effect for captured imagery.
