This is probably a stupid question to ask but I am asking it anyway. I have watched many clips that were shot with the Panasonic AG-DVX100B and I have been very impressed by them. If you shot something with this camera in 24P and used an NLE software like Sony Vegas in post and added some of the "film-look" effects Vegas has, would it make any difference in the final product?

Sorry; that made my night
The look you refer to encompasses so many areas
Lighting, contrast, exposure, composition, color grade, the 24p frame rate ...
Little grasshopper. Adding film looks is unneccasary.

Trip - you may want to read over this sticky in the 35mm adapter forum,
it has a lot of good information on some of the major factors that people refer to as the 'film look.'

yeah, I had the same quest as you, but the guys here taught me (and they are 110% correct) that the "film look" is more a shooting-style thing than a magic plug-in fix.
There is plenty information here under the ligthing section and the places mentioned above about shooting in a film style.
Trust me, there is no magic plug-in, I investigated it alot!
shoot progressive and light, block, etc... for a film style and it will look that way.

You can never, ever, fix it in post. I really wish I could though, too bad it's impossible.

TripCore,
Don't get discouraged. There really is so much to learn, not only about the camera, but about the many things that will contribute to the look you want. You've come to the right place. Ask your questions, poke around in other sub-forums (cinematography, lighting, etc.), and you will find the answers you are looking for. Most of all, practice everyday and soon you'll love the images you are producing.
Cheers,
John

Film is a lot like golf, you can get very good at it, but because there are so many variables, you can never "master" it.
Film is ultimately story telling using a visual and audible vehicle. So... you can have the best lighting and acting, but if you fail to tell the story with your selection of shots, their arrangement and carefully chosen progression, it will join the piles of other stories blowing in the traffic-born winds by the side of the road of good intentions.
If you study my friend (Wally Pfister's) movie "Memento", it is a great study in non-linear story telling.
What I've come to discover is you can have the best story every written, but if the screenplay and shots are not properly "envisioned" by the Director/Editor. Pre-production and storyboards are absolutely essential. I've been on sets with no pre-production and massive amounts of time was wasted that all could have been avoided with pre-pro. One day went a solid 20 hours. Fortunately it was in a mansion with lots of places to nap between scenes.
