To be honest to these eyes the PT films have a more grouped feel to them than the OT films in terms of cinematography.

ESB was composed with more deliberate care and attention than ANH (which has more energetic whimsical framing).

ROTJ has some of both approaches and some beautiful shots but it's also got quite a few shots which seemed to have been just chucked together with very little care, attention, rough energy or wit.

In the PT if you compare scenes set in the same location or similar locations, like with like, they all feel the same. A senate scene, for example looks pretty much the same in TPM as it does in ROTS in a way that even X-Wing cockpit shots don't across all three OT films.

That hasn't as much to do with the cameras used but more to do with compositional ethos of the film makers involved.
