Sometimes, its difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The pic underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 7000 and K-1 II.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 7000 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Pentax K-1 II will result in more detail with its extra 24MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 7000 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
