To sum up, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The K-70 featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Pentax K-70 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer K-70 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
