Oftentimes, its hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing technical specs. The visual below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the K-3 II and S2000.

As you have seen, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The K-3 II having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Pentax K-3 II will deliver extra detail with its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The newer K-3 II should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
