The shoot I'm working on next week involves several shots/scenes where the camera needs to be (professionally) suction-cup mounted to the hood of a moving vehicle. Amid logistical concerns surrounding the C100 being attached to the car, it was proposed that we instead attach my client's Canon Rebel T2i to the hood. How well can I expect the footage to match between the C100 and the T2i? I've seen footage from both cameras, but haven't had the opportunity to perform any side-by-side comparisons. All footage will end up being graded. Anyone been in a similar situation?
C100: Mixing C100 footage with footage from a Rebel T2i

Two different results, I try and try so that my old 600D doesn't just sit in a cupboard but you can easily tell. Very soft un-cinematic look if that makes any sense. You dont really notice it till you do side by side just how clean the C100 is. Thing is though for attached to car shots I dont think it matters, your brain allows for a quality drop anyway. I mix C100 and Gopro all the time and mostly the lens gives it away when graded, I think a 550 for car shots will be absolutely fine ... but it's no C100

As we all know the Canon dslr line look better on close up shots then wide shots with lots of detail. I would use the sharpest lens you can get your hands on, then stop it down a bit to further increase sharpness, Use the flattest color profile you can. You can also get away with a little post sharpening as well. Contrast/ white balance/ saturation/ sharpness/ exposure/are the main parameters to dial in when matching cameras. Secondly will be fine tuning secondary's on a color wheel, etc...
