Often, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizing just by going over technical specs. The photograph underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the K-70 and K100D S.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Pentax K-70 to offer you more detail as a result of its extra 18 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern K-70 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
