The L10 was manufactured 11 years before the K-1 II and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before going through a thorough comparison, below is a short introduction of how the L10 scores versus the K-1 II in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you are going to lug around your camera often, you'll need to consider its weight and measurements.

Typically, its hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the L10 and K-1 II.

As you have seen, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The L10 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Pentax K-1 II will offer more detail due to its extra 26MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older L10 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
