How well do DVX100 and DVX100b match

I will be shooting my first film, but wanted to have two cameras on set to speed up the shoot. I already have a DVX100b, but was thinking about getting a DVX100 also. Will a DVX100 and DVX100b match footage well? Some of this might be in relatively low light.

Thanks!

i guess the answer is "yes" if you're careful and don't use the extra settings on the dvx100b. i read through barry green's dvx book. and it says something about matching dvx100 to dvx100a. so i'm guessing it's the same here. anyhow, good luck everyone. thanks anyways.
 
They will have basically the same look, but the 100B has a cleaner signal. You can work around this in a couple of ways. You could intentionally add +6dB gain on the 100B, or you could make sure the 100 has a higher (+) DETAIL CORING setting relative to the 100B to hopefully minimize some of its noise (which you'd generally want to do anyway).

Also, the 100 doesn't have a SQUEEZE mode, so if you want widescreen, and you want it to cut togethwe well, you might just stick with LETTERBOX on both.

The 100 also lacks certain GAMMA modes, so you'd want to find an acceptable GAMMA mode that is common to both. The 100 bascially because your least common denominator at this point.

Find all of your desired settings, and shoot some tests.
 
awesome!

awesome!

thanks Joshua and Barry for the tips! really appreciate it... coming from the resident masters... :2vrolijk_08:... and thanks saturnin for the kick in the rear reminder to get shooting... thanks! will do!
 
Raising CORING in and of itself is not intended to reduce noise, but what is happening in reality is you are ensuring that the edge enhancement/sharpening is not over-sharpening the noise and making it really pop out.
