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.
