Sometimes, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by researching specifications. The picture underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Efina and K-70.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Efina due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Pentax K-70 will render greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged Efina will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
