Example AF sensitity range:
Sony A6000: 0-20EV
Nikon D7100: -2-19EV
Now you may ask yourself why's the D7100 so much better in low light ? We are talking about a sensitivity that is 200% higher on the DSLR. Maybe think about the size of the AF photodiodes in these different approaches.
This is a DSLR AF module:

Solely made for just one purpose.
Just a technical explanation, please. Thus why is a dedicate AF sensor array worse than an embedded AF sensor array in the image sensor ?
I am always willing to learn something new.
