This is a short documentary I prepared for the Oregon Historical Society about the construction and dedication of the new WWII Memorial at the State Capitol in Salem, Oregon. It comprises mixed footage from a D5300 and a GH4. shot in 1080. can you tell which parts were shot with which camera?

Having worked with both the GH2 and D5200, I'd guess the opening shot was the D5300, switching to the GH4 at the scene with the seated man in the bright red jacket. Likewise, raising the obelisk D5300 and speaker at the podium GH4. I could be wrong, but to my eye, the Nikons have better shadow detail, but harsher highlights and more clinical colors than the Panasonics. The D5x00 also have a much broader range of usable ISO than GH cameras, but that's not something you'd notice in daylit shots.

I see a sea-change in detail after about 1:40 - the wide shot of the obelisk in place. Muddy details in trees and grass before this. GH4 after 1:40, excepting possibly one brief close shot, and typical slightly too cool colors that Panny gives their Auto-WB preset, which fortunately can be tweaked.
