Generally, it is hard to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the L10 and K-70.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The L10 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Pentax K-70 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older L10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
