On the PBS "Great Performances" show I worked on, the director had a
script many weeks in advance & he had all camera shots scripted.
Occaisionally (twice for me) the camera op had a slightly better shot &
told the director after rehearsal so that the director could agree &
change the shot sheet.

Ideally, ALL cameras should be the same so that images from different
camera match better. Different brand lenses make things harder for the
shader.

At times that works, especially in venues that tend to be light on scripting.
