Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 650D and K-70.

As you can see, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should expect to see the Pentax K-70 to resolve extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older 650D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
