No impact.

I purchased the M system because it offered excellent portability in a small light weight package. I've come to realize that APC-C is the sweet spot for IQ, size, and value. If the M didn't exist, my next choice would have been a high end Powershot, M43, or perhaps a Fuji APS-C system.

I lost my interest in photography a dozen years ago because of DSLR bulk. My smartphone brought that interest back with its ease of use and portability. After realizing I wanted something better IQ wise, the M system has been an acceptable compromise. I can see myself using this system for many, many years.

In the end, size matters. The benchmark for me is being able to fit the camera and 3-4 lenses in a small bag. The R system brings back the size and bulk of a DSLR, therefore I have no interest in purchasing.
