(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-01-23)

I will need to film on 10 cameras soon, as I can't afford to rent 10 cameras, I will collect them from friends, which means I will have many diffrent cameras.

Should I try to color match them in camera with internal saturation, contrast and sharpness or should I match them in post?

They are all lower quality cameras like Canon 700D, Nikon D3500, Panasonic G70...
