Any insight I can bring forth here? Haven't used one of these but the Sony full frame mirrorless has my attention!
No, it focuses like a higher end P&S. But definitely not like a 5D MkIII. It seems somewhat dependent on the lens. The 22mm kit lens is quite fast.

The Sonys have my attention as well. But that's apple and oranges. The Sony A7R and any of their lenses will run nearly $4k. I have 1/10th of that invested in my EOS-M.

I saw a pic from the A7R today. Full body shot of a model wearing a raincoat. You could zoom in to the point where it was almost a macro view of the stitching and weave of the fabric in her coat. It's a pretty amazing camera.
