i have these two cameras and i'm getting hard time trying to match them together. I shoot with both cameras and getting tired of color matching in postprod...

Starting with the ''Nature'' setting from Panasonic(i love this look), i tried to match them(on preset) using Diva light as light and a SmallHD as a reference monitor but i'm still getting big differences between them, red and green aren't the same, close but not the same.

Is somebody got a good scene recipe to share...?
 
With different cameras it's pretty impossible to get it "the same." There's always gonna be a little CC in post, the goal is just get it as close as you can while shooting. Panasonic's have very similar image controls, just match them as best as you can and white balance them the same.
 
200A and 170 should be pretty exact. i use them together all the time. Did you white ball both of them? Keep in mind if one is a profile shot and one is a strait shot the lighting may actually be differnt. You then are adjusting to make it "look right" but the camera is actually matching...try taping the same scene same lighting, same angle and see if they match.
