I´ve just come back from 4 1/2 weeks of shooting in Bangladesh. My advice to all who are reluctant to take ther DVX to a third world country for fear of its safe return (or their own 
) is to breathe deeply and take the risk. For me it was certainly worth it.
I shot a portrait of a rickshaw art painter in the capital of Dhaka, eid-ul-azha mass sacrifice of cows in the streets of Old Dhaka (what a bloody mess) and a shipbreaking yard near Chittagong. The most difficult thing at first was pulling out the camera in the middle of a street with all these dozens of hyper-curious people forming a gazing croud around me, sometimes spoiling my pictures.
Shooting at the shipbreaking yard proved to be exceptionally hazardous and challenging to my DVX. Very bright sunlight, strong wind, small salt particles, smoke, dust, dirt, sparks, vibrating surfaces (huge steel plates), and most of all getting permission to be there in the first place (bring some money!).
All in all, the camera took quite a beating, but survived undamaged. So, my DVX has passed its first trial ;D
