Sometimes, it can be tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements purely by checking out specs. The graphic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1 and K-01.
As you can plainly see, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Pentax K-01 will produce extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent 1 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
