Often, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes simply by going over specifications. The image underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 7D MII and K-3 II.

To sum up, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Pentax K-3 II to offer you extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 7D MII is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
