Re: What impact does the Canon EOS R system have on your future M system purchases?

None whatsoever. I use my M system primarily for travel, because I can carry a full outfit in a smallish bag that I can even take when flying with just carry-on luggage. It has good enough quality, just enough lens choice (with a couple of third-party additions, anyway) and meets my technical requirements for a travel system in terms of spec and IQ.
R doesn't do that, in terms of size, and never will. 
What R WILL do is at some point replace my DSLRs. I currently use 5D IV, 6D, and 7D II; I may replace the 6D with an R or RF in the not too distant future, and certainly if the 6D starts to give me trouble; the smaller size is certainly a plus for me as a backup camera.  
The 5d IV and 7D II I'm in no hurry to replace, but it will happen eventually.
