The 10D was introduced 16 years earlier than the K-1 II which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting straight into a detailed comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the 10D grades vs the K-1 II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

If you are going to travel with your camera regularly, you will have to take into account its weight and dimensions.

More often than not, its tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 10D and K-1 II.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 10D with its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Pentax K-1 II will provide greater detail using its extra 30MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
