What Betacam cams are you using?
I did a comparison between the DVX100 and a BVW 300 several years ago and
the Betacam image was clearly superior to the smaller cam in resolution. The
differences got less in lower light situations, but I seriously doubt that
you are talking about 330 lines on 2/3" chips.
If you use three DVX100a's you'll probably be able to get away with it, but
if you cut between the two types of cams it will be clearly noticeable.
