Yikes. Now you know why if people can't use cameras with
CCUs, they at least use the same make/model camera for multi-
camera productions. And if they can't use the same mode, they
at least use the same make. Sony/Canon/Panasonic/etc. never
look the same. Good luck. People who do "color timing" in
Hollywood are highly specialized experts and earn their $$$.
Yes, you will end up "eyeballing" the video. Pick one or the other
camera as the "reference" and adjust the picture from the other
one to match as best you can. You might find that one of the
cameras made better video than the other, i.e. one which gives
you more to work with.
