I am a professional videographer for a living. I use the Ursa mini pro 4.6k for the most part, but sometimes I have had to use my nx1 in a pinch, Sony fs700, panasonic g3, and even a cheap Sony Handycam.
When editing the raw footage in premiere you can easily see the difference in cameras and the "professional" $6000 blackmagic looks very sharp, clear, crisp, and clean compared the the others.
BUT when you export for YouTube compression (or in my case TV broadcast) you can't tell the difference.
What really matters is lighting, focus, dof, and color. Those are the things that will translate across any distribution platform.
What it comes down to is that it doesn't really matter what camera you are using I'd you are using it right and fill the frame with beautifully lit interesting subject matter you have a winner.
Ok, thanks for replying, but what about color?
I also have some footage shot using the old Panasonic TM700. It seemed great back then, but now, comparing to a DSLR, the image doesn't pop. The colors, I mean. They Canon colors, on the DSLR seemed more vivid. Can you tell me how can I match the colors of the Panasonic TM700 to the NX500/NX30 automatically?
Here, take a look at these videos, please:

What does the footage of the old camcorder Panasonic TM700 lacks, when comparing to the t2i? Or other camera DSLR/Mirrorless? Because I think it lacks something. I'm no expert but I like the IQ of the t2i better... Is it only a matter of DOF? Or maybe it is just a matter of personal taste...
Thanks
I have a Panasonic TM900 and I will choose it over my NX500 for video 100% of the time. Just because the stabilization, the autofocus, the lens and the overall handling of the TM900 are purpose-built built for video. The sound is way better too.
But then again I am a casual video shooter and my needs are simple.
I often use my TM700. It has a great image, and it is very versatile. Sound quality is great and has a fully articulated LCD. It Is perfect for 1080p video, except in low light and if you want a shallow DOF. However, watching my footage, colors seemed very soft. Colors doesn't seem to pop. Did you understand what I mean? Colors seemed washed out...
