As you have seen, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The A6100 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A6100 will provide you with extra detail utilizing its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger A6100 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
