Combining footage: GH2 and Canon T2i test

Using Canon and Panasonic DSLRs in the same multi-camera scene: How noticeable is the difference in color?

This is test to see if a GH2 can be used for wide shots (due to the sharper image and moire-free video mode) combined with a standard Canon (T2i for this test) used for tight close ups.

NO GRADING WAS DONE TO THE FOOTAGE. All of this footage is dropped directly from each camera into my NLE for testing and evaluation purposes.

GH2: Film mode: Nostalgic, saturation +2, Contrast +2, everything else 0. Nikkor 50mm F/1.4, ISO 400 shutter 1/60

T2i: Picture Profile: Faithful (all settings on 0), Nikon 75-150mm F/3.5, ISO 400 shutter 1/60

Results?
You be your own judge, but in my opinion, as long as one camera has a much more dramatic close up than the other, the slight color differences can be ignored by the viewer.
If I had further color corrected and graded the images, they would likely look even more similar.
