Often, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over specifications. The photograph below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the X70 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
To sum up, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X70 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Pentax X70 will offer extra detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older X70 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
