Oftentimes, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by going through technical specs. The picture underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-3010 and K-1 II.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FE-3010 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Pentax K-1 II will show greater detail using its extra 24 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged FE-3010 will be behind in sensor tech.
