2 Different camera's workflow in LR3

What's is your workflow when dealing with images from two different camera's in LR3. I currently have images shot with a 50D and 1D MkIII.

It is the same for me. Once I am in Lightroom, what camera they were shot with is moot.

+1 from me. Doesn't matter to me which camera they came from.

I have a 1D and a 1D3.
I've set up different defaults for both camera's. (Different sharpening, NR and "blacks" settings mainly)

If I am using them both on the same shoot I'll frequently name the files accordingly when I import them. Otherwise I don't give a lot of thought to processing them differently.

I'm with Tony on this...I base it on the image and what it needs rather than what the differences are between bodies.

The workflow is mostly not a factor when shooting with multiple cameras. Of course it helps to profile each camera so you're working with essentially the same baseline images

For example, I've used both the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport and Adobe DNG Profile Editor to create dual-illuminant profiles for all my cameras.

I'd do a couple of things to make it easier still.

I'd mark each camera with a different colour label, at least while processing, as it makes it easy to spot the cameras. That makes it easier when doing things like pasting white balances from one photo to another.

Also, I'd note general differences and apply a preset or profile accordingly, to get them to as equal a starting point as possible, to save yourself always making the same adjustments as you work through the images (i.e. one camera may show more contrast than another, etc).

Good ideas -- I guess the reason I've never really done much differentiation in pp is that the two working bodies I shoot with are very close in image characteristics (the 1D3 and the 5D Classic and generally don't require a lot of pp and what I do I couldn't even say how they may differ. So I was just never bothered by differences!
