The AF speed of Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology based camera are blazing fast, on the other hand Sony NEX 6 uses Hybrid AF system that combines Phase and Contrast detect method, NEX 6 have Phase AF pixels active during still and video mode, so both camera gives you the most advance AF system available today.
Based on different lighting / test condition, Hybrid AF system (Phase+Contrast) is more recommended over contrast based AF system.
NEX 6 also offers bit fast continuous shooting speed compared to Olympus E-P5.

Video: Sony NEX 6 can capture Full HD video @ 60fps, Olympus E-P5 limited to 30 fps only at Full HD mode.
