Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The K-3 II with its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Pentax K-3 II will resolve extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer K-3 II will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
