Normally, it is difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The image underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FX700 and K-1 II.
As you can see, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FX700 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Pentax K-1 II will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 22MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FX700 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
