Do your means the a6100 is better than m6 ii from dpreview staff?

And Autofocus is more more important than body build quality, handling and controls ?

How to choose ?

You can look at their conclusions and decide what is most important for you. For the M6 Mark II here’s what they say:

What we like:

  • Very good image quality
  • Dual Pixel AF offers good focus speed and accuracy
  • Compact, yet plenty of controls
  • Fast burst shooting with continuous AF

What we don't:

  • Limited battery life
  • USB charging appears to demand PD-type adapters
  • 4K footage isn't very detailed

The first three positives I consider important for myself; the fourth one is occasionally interesting; as far as the negatives, the battery life seems much better in real life, and the other two i don’t care much about.

in addition of course, I am biased towards Canon, as owner of other Canon gear. I rented Sony a couple of times, and while it got the job done didn’t push me over.

So you choose by looking at reviews and images and decide what’s important to you and what’s not. Many of the ~$1000 mirrorless cameras out there are very capable.
