Normally, it's difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The graphic underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Minolta 5D and K-30.

As you have seen, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should expect to see the Pentax K-30 to produce extra detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older Minolta 5D will be behind in sensor technology.
