    @... at first, C1 has a huge backlog of improvement suggestions of their edtor and DAM part, some of them for a couple of months or year. Name any company which successfully left their core competence and started with a complete new branch? Or just added another branch to their portfolio? You mention Kodak, I recall Samsung trying to get into camera business with some interesting models. Also a couple of camera brands like Minolta, Contax/Yashica, Ricoh (when there were Ricoh instead of Pentax cameras) dipping their toes into digital imagery tried and failed spectacularly.

    What could C1 as a newcomer possibly bring to the table a product like DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, FinalCut or any other already exisiting video centric app are missing? Not to mention support not only for still image bodies but for countless video cameras as well?

    There's a saying "nothing is impossible for somebody who doesn't have to do it himself". Think for just an eye-blink long: why does Lightrrom have no video capabilities?

    You need some video centric devs for that development. You're paying their salaries, right? Because I don't want to.

    I see. Well, occasionally I imported videos into C1 without wanting it and never tried to do anything with them, as for cutting, color-grading, speed alterations... it's simply not C1's home playground, I thought. And never tried what I could do with a video.

    Now I did. Except playback - nothing else. Ok, I do the simple video edits in quicktime or iMovie so far. Not too happy with it, but everything else just needs more practising than I'm willing to invest.

    Adding video handling/editing capabilities would increase size of binaries linked to executable, increasing already present problems with performance and memory consumption. My vote is a NO, it's better to specialize first.
