Generally, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through specs. The graphic underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 700D and K-70.

All in all, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Pentax K-70 to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 700D is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
