Generally, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The visual underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D and K-70.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D with its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Pentax K-70 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The older 6D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
