If you're shooting in 24P it is completely normal.
Are you using a shutter speed of 24/1 or 60/1(off)...?
I'd say the only time this would be regarded as a problem is if you are shooting scenes with fast moving action where you'd most definitely want to use a fast shutter speed. I did some shooting for a client at a sprint car raceway last month and by using a 1000/1 shutter speed I was able to get some really fine detail and nice stills from my DVX of very fast moving cars.
Barry's DVX book/DVD does a really good job at explaining the effect of 24p, however, I'd really recommend the "Camera Command" DVD which goes into great depth regarding shutter speed.

The normal shutter speed for 24p is 1/48, not 1/24.
scotman, this is called motion blur, and it is completely normal in all kinds of photography. It's also a natural phenomenon, even for human vision. When you whip your head around to look at something, is everything you see as you turn in perfect focus and super sharp? Nope.
This may look strange while looking at still frames, but on playback, it will look normal. If you want to eliminate it, use a faster shutter speed (e.g., 1/250), but it will look somewhat unnatural on playback. The only reason to use anything faster than 1/48 is for a special effect, or if you are shooting and know you will need to pull sharp still frames out of the footage for any reason, such as sports videography.
