Marvel, Star Trek, Transformers - Same Cameras?

When I've been watching the recent Marvel, Star Trek and Tranformers movies, they all seem to have the same look to them as though the exact same camera was used.

Well, both Michael Bay and JJ Abrams love to shoot with anamorphic lenses, which impart a certain distinctive look to the image, and create those horizontal lens flares. The Marvel movies are all over the place format-wise, though everything after Thor has been shot digitally. Mostly I think it's just the action movie color grading and the similar-looking visual effects designs.

It has more to do with the color timing in post than the cameras used.
