The D3300 was launched 3 years earlier than the K-70 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before we go straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the D3300 scores against the K-70 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon D3300 and Pentax K-70. The complete galleries are available at Nikon D3300 Gallery and Pentax K-70 Gallery.

If you are planning to carry around your camera frequently, you need to factor its weight and measurements.

Typically, it is difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes just by going through specifications. The picture underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D3300 and K-70.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size and the same megapixels therefore you should expect comparable quality of pictures though you may want to consider the production date of the cameras into account. The more aged D3300 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
