can't believe i wake up this morning and this thread is still going...Feb. 18th should be re-named Clunk Day heheh
 
Hi everyone,

I know everyone things this is a riot, but it isn't. The phone calls and the emails are coming in as people actually think you all are serious. When someone asks the question, why can't you just refer them to the manual, where it says this is normal. This is costing me time and effort to reassure that Panasonic has not isssued some recall, or that there is not something more serious wrong with the camera.

Please.

Thanks,


Jan
 
Hey Jan,
wow, amazing that someone would actually go as far as call you, well, no, I guess it's not that THAT surprising really, considering the original question.

No one here wanted to cause you (and/or Pana) trouble, Jan, of that I'm sure.

Mods: this would warrant the deletion of all these threads, no?
 
It surprises me too, but when people pay for something that is this expensive and I think that Luis' reference to the Service recal with an actual part number, put them over the top. Just leave this up and then the next time just reference this and tel them to start at the end of the thread. ;-)

Thanks,

Jan
 
Understood.
I guess Luis is da man in as far as being most convincing then!
Darn, and I thought that went to the "flux capacitor" reference! :)
 
Well the problem seems to lie in the fact that people don't search. When this thread originally was posted not 15 minutes before we had just finished another clunk thread. I know when I got my DVX I noticed it as well. I then jumped on the forum and found the answer. The information is out there people jusdt aren't searching for it. If we didn't post any information about the clunk "issue" they would still call panasonic because that's what people do when they don't know. The only difference now is that instead of calling about a clunk issue they're calling about the "titanium rods" or "Defect in the OIS Gyro"

Unfortunately, some shipments of DVX's were stored at the Panasonic Sierra Leone warehouse. Reportedly, a certain number of these units were modified by War Lords to smuggle conflict diamonds. The litmus test is, if you tilt your camera forwards and backwards, and you hear a clunk, you probably have one of the units with a smuggled diamond between the optical image stabilizer gyro and the imaging element. On a positive note, the camera may have paid for itself. There are only two authorized Panasonic service centers to recover the diamond and repair the camera (Brussels, Belgium and Johannesburg, South Africa).

Hey everyone, it's my fault. I shouldn't have written such a plausible, realistic explanation. :grin:
 
I'm sorry if someone told me it wasn't working because of the flux capacitor I would have questioned the validity of the information being told to me
 
they should just require an IQ test before sale of a camera...or maybe just a reading comprension test...

Maybe we should have said enriched uranium rods? No battery needed, the camera powers itself:grin:
 
Or we could have said that the thunk is the solar panels that power the crystals that provide the great filmlike image
