As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The A6100 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A6100 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern A6100 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
