I think many of us have been so disenchanted with Poser 5 that we really want Daz Studio to be the next big thing. I have never been disappointed with any product I have purchased from Daz and applaud the high quality of their human figures and accessories. I also echo some other folks here, I like the plug-in module approach to Daz Studio. I for one, don't animate so I don't really care about animation capabilities right now. I also like the idea of only paying for the features that I will use. I am also looking forward to a straight forward, easy approach to texturing my figures rather than the cryptic Material Room of Poser 5. I am also willing to wait for Studio so that they can make the program the best it can be. If Poser 5 hadn't been rushed to market perhaps we'd all be happier with it. Also I want to note one more thing, it's been almost a year since P5's release and people still aren't happy with it. I don't remeber people complaining about P4 or PP the way they have about this product. Last summer we were all dreaming about added features we wanted in P5, but we were still posing happily away--even with the now forgotten Dork and Posette.
