Matching T2i with XH-A1

[DHLOGAN]

I may have the opportunity to test out a T2i shooting an event coming up. My main camera is a XH-A1. I wanted to use both but I wasn't sure what the best way to match them was.

Has anyone here successfully matched the two cameras? If so, how did you go about doing it. Thanks in advance for any help.

In short, it sucks. We used to shoot on a XL-H1A and we started using it with the 7D and color correction is a nightmare. It takes so long to match the two. WEe got pretty good at setting them up but getting the WB to match and the difference in low-light is astounding (obviously). We eventually just choose to use them separately. It's a phenomenal video camera but very hard in an A/B setup.

I really don't have any tips becuase it all depends on your lighting conditions and what lenses you are going to use. But being that you are used to the XH-A1 I would match the t2i to it. It's far easier to tweak the t2i in my experience. Just try to get both cameras in your hands for at least a night or two and shoot with both, put it in your editor and see what your final will look like.
