The sensor resolution of K-70 is greater than that of K100D Super. The difference of 18 MP is quite a lot. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.

At Pentax K-70, the maximum ISO is greater by 99200. Both cameras have Sensor-shift image stabilization. Pentax K-70 has a larger 3-inch Articulated screen, the other camera has a 2-inch Fixed screen.
