Typically, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The picture underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 60Da and K-3 III.

To sum up, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Pentax K-3 III to resolve more detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged 60Da is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
