Do you think M5's dual pixel is better than AF of Sony A6300 or even A6000?

We can't tell for sure yet of course.  Not until it gets into some experienced hands.  But I think it has the potential to be on-par with the A6300 (my having used the 70D's DPAF for quite some time now).

Granted, Sony has always performed magic with their technology.  I've owned and shot with a whole bunch of Sony cams over a period of 15+ years.  IMHO they have the best full Auto modes of any cameras out there (literally just point and shoot).  I recommend them to every Tyro who asks.

But I really love Canon's DSLRs.  They've brought me some of the most astounding pictures you can imagine.  And when the 70D debuted with the DPAF sensor, it literally transformed my Live View and Video experience (esp with that great touchscreen interface!).

So I have great expectations of the M5.  Sure, it might turn out to be a lemon in real world use, but I am really anxious to give it a try.
