No impact for me.

I don't find the bodies compelling yet and there are a few issues (technical and crippling-wise) that would need to be addressed to make them more interesting to me.

But mostly it's the lenses. Thom Hogan had an interesting piece on what Canon was up to. I always find his writing balanced and insightful. He figured they are executing a particular strategy with he thigh-end lenses. And so-so bodies at the start.

I'm not buying any of these lenses so the only way the R becomes interesting is when and if Canon starts making more modest primes. Again, the Nikon Z is a much more compelling system to me right now.
