I really hope not.

Trunk lid fell on it (good thing it missed my head), and then it started doing this:

Super-short clip: click me

Is this fixable?

seems broken to me.
...you should make some crazy dream/artsy short film with it then everyone would be asking "how'd you get that effect!? wow!" etc...

then you say "Just smash the trunk lid of your car down on your DVX". ....someone's bound to try it out to be like you since you'd be a festival award winner
due to the originality of your artsy short.
 
Hey dvxusers,

When replying, try to answer the posters questions. The reason why is because it becomes tedious reading through 3 pages just to get a answer to the original question. I think its okay to joke and mess around, I'm guilty of it myself, but as long as you give or answer the posters questions. That's what these form are for, to learn and have fun. Look at some of the post from the vets here, like Barry Green, he answers the posters question, helps them out and at the same time has fun. But, when guys take up one page writing nonsense comments it becomes tedious. I've seen it happening more and more, its just annoying and unproductive. My 2 cents.

I'm not a electrical engineer, so take my advice for what's it worth, but unfortunately, it looks like something could be wrong with your CCD. Yes, it should be fixable, however, you should be aware that Panasonic has stopped producing some parts for the DVX. Therefore, you should take/send it to Panasonic or get it checked out at a certified Panasonic repair shop in your area.

Below is the the link to the Panasonic Canadian Website. The head of the Department is Chris. He's a real nice guy. Ask for him and tell him that your located in Ottawa (Pansonic HQ is located in Mississuaga) and if you could send him a pic or a video via email of what the camera is doing, so he can assess it before you send your DVX in. They charge 150.00 minimum if you decide to send it.

It prolly is the CCD block, looks like something is mis-aligned or cracked...

Manymoosh dude chill out. Its the internet.
 
its obvious his camera is broke.. if he has warranty send it out to get it fixed if not..take it o authorized dealer and hope its a cheap fix. I probably woudlnt recommend opening up your unit unless u have some electronics experience.
Still..electronics now and the ones from yesteryear are greatly differnet so....
eitehr way..sux that this happend... but now u can make psychadelic films...

holler!! lol

Changed it to be less flaming for ya Hudson! But my opinions still stand; first reply to the post in a productive manner and then mess around all you want - everyone wins.

AdvancTech, I did some more research and it could be a slew of other things beside the CCD. Best bet would be to stop using it and get it checked out by a pro.

All the best,
