The 600D was announced 6 years before the K-70 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through specs. The pic underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 600D and K-70.

All in all, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Pentax K-70 to give greater detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged 600D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
