Generally, it is hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by going through a spec sheet. The image here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the G95 and K-70.

As you can see, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G95 with its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Pentax K-70 will show extra detail having an extra 3.7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger G95 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
