Oftentimes, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking specs. The image here should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 300D and K-70.

All in all, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Pentax K-70 to give more detail using its extra 18MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 300D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
