Questions from a DVX newbie

i used to own the vx1000 and rented the pd150 so the dvx is a whole new enchilada for me...just a few newbie questions if ya don't mind...

1.  is there a place to place the lens cap on the dvx?  i'm used to the thing dangling from a string...

2.  what is the purpose of the pin on the zoom ring?  i took it off and tightened it back on and made no difference?  i assume it acts like a handle if one wants to control the zoom on the ring such as a snap zoom?

3.  does anyone have a monitor hood such as the hoodman h-400?  i was wondering if you have to stick velcro onto the monitor or is there a strap that wraps around the monitor?  i would like to take off the hood and close the lcd completely.

4.  i noticed when i was sleeping with my camera there was this rattling sound when the camera is off?  just kidding!   ;D

- As far as I know, you just have to live with the lack of the string on the lens cap; it's not that big a deal anyways...

- And as far as I know, the pin *is* for being used as a handle.

- I don't have the monitor hood...

- I sleep with my DVX too. :P

one nice thing you can do with the zoom-pin..
you can then use it for measuring distance with a meter-tape!
