Dpreview posted their big autofocus Sony A7rII test and their conclusion is absolutely sensational:

The a7R II, when paired with a bright lens, can match or exceed the performance of the best DSLRs with respect to low-light AF ability. And we haven’t even shared the most exciting thing with you yet: although in this video we show you results at -2EV, our ‘extinction’ tests measured -3EV as the failing point of phase-detection with the a7R II + 35mm F1.4 combo. That’s very dark, and represents potentially game-changing performance, in our opinion.4

Sounds like for the very first time Canon and Nikon managers will REALLY have to worry about Sony taking away the spotlight from their Full Frame Pro market!
