I'm just curious - why does the lens hood on the DVX100 have such a special design? (Being quite square with holes in the back, compared to other lens hoods.)
 
haha. i've always wondered the same. Maybe Panasonic just wanted it to look pretty:) .

I'm guessing its because Panasonic wanted to make this camera unique, from all the competitors. So along with the 24p mode, and the camera just being amazing as it is, they wanted it to have unique styling queues too.
 
I think it may have something to do with allowing more light onto the white balance sensor??
 
that has definately got to be it. Judging from the location of the white balance sensor, a normal lens hood would be blocking most main light source's from reacing the sensor. Then again, you/we may be wrong....but what you said makes perfect sense.
 
Guys... It just looks good...!!!

OK... not as good as a full blown matte box... with a bunch of filter combos...!!!
but if your not made of money...

It looks cool...!!!
