Addendum:  I see one can not link directly to some of the direct 
measurements--hit measurement  tab, then  "dynamic range" or SNR  The A7RII has 
about a 2 stop advantage at higher ISO for DR/SNR-that is the DR/SNR  of the 
A7rII at ISO 6400  requires ISO 1600 for the E-M5II at least by DXOmark 
measures.

The best FF sensors (Sonny) will outperform the best MFT sensors in 
measurements.  The  physics of 4X area with more overall signal will eventually 
trump the gains in engineering especially as one pushes up the ISO.

Whether that matters for moderate sized  prints or web images is another story. 
 If one likes astro-landscapes with high DR at high ISO then A7RII is way to 
go.  Sonny is still  ahead of Canyon on this.  All is not sweetness on light 
for this cam as the sensor does run hot and the A7r may be better for long 
exposures.   One can also use HDR and multishot  high-resolution modes on Oly 
MFT to make up the difference for static subjects.Mike
