I guess you have been reading about andromeda mandy for the hacking situation.
In theory all can be hacked, even analog, but it really provides no benefit. Hacking a single chip ccd minidv camera isn't going to be a miracle because you still have a bayered analog output at low res.
The reason DVX looks good when it is done is because with minidv, 3ccd information is almost destroyed, a huge amount of colour data is thrown out along with the electronics destroying the picture just a little but more along with some old school dct compression. Bypassing all that leaves the raw image. Easier to work with in post, but needs more work in post. Thats the trade of, but if you want quality then you won't really care about the little work.
Viper is different, its designed around a huge ccd to do what it does
