C5 Pro works great as it is. No need to replace it just because DAZ now holds the reins. :) Of course I am sure you mean the future of Carrara, which I am worried about as well. I still model in Lightwave, I have yet to make the jump to any of the newer modeling packages.

C5 Pro is an excellent product. The development team in my opinion has done a great job over the past couple of years. To see it end would be a shame. Though I am sure we will know more tomorrow, indications are that the development team will stay on and still maintain development of Carrara. I sure hope so. Changing apps is not easy. I attempted it with Carrara at version 3. Only now have I made the complete transition. I like Carrara and it has some great features that Lightwave doesnt have. More importantly, I just have more fun using Carrara than I did in 7 years of using Lightwave.

The only experience I have with any DAZ product is Bryce and that was years ago, back before Corel got it. It would be easy to point to the fate of Bryce and be real sad about the future of Carrara. Bryce was pretty much dead when DAZ took over. Here we have the full development team staying on, from initial reports anyway.

Other than that, my experience with DAZ is zero. So I guess I will wait and see. But I still have a $400 upgrade for Lightwave to take advantage of if things dont pan out. For now, Carrara suits my  needs perfectly, hopefully it will continue to do so and the development team will still keep adding the amazing new features.
