mixing footage from Sony and Panasonic (or Canon)

[David Majer]

My question is about mixing footage specifically from Sony to Panasonic (or secondly Canon) cameras.

In my experience each company has a color profile, and within a brand cameras tend to match decently out of the box.

 

I am a Sony owner of an NX5U video camera and have had experience mixing footage with Canon videocameras and DSLRs.  The colors do not match perfectly,  but for my wedding clients it is passable. 

 

Does anyone have knowledge of how well pana + sony might mix?

I'm wondering specifically how well the Sony NX5U might match with a panasoinc GH2/3 (used as a b-cam)?

 

I'm considering purchasing either a Sony NEX series (NEX 6) or a GH2/3.  But I don't want to have to color correct all my footage to match with my workhorse NX5U.

 

Thanks,

.David
