Between the X100VI and α1 II, the X100VI comes out ahead in weight, while the α1 II wins on af points and megapixels. Overall, the X100VI scores 57.7 and the α1 II scores 64.4 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The α1 II edges ahead on the Mars Score (57.7 vs 64.4), but the 6.7-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the X100VI if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight.
Pick the α1 II if you care most about af points and megapixels. Its strongest claims are af points, megapixels, sensor size, among others.
Both ship with comparable in-body stabilization, log profile, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the α1 II is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
