Canon 70D has a
20.0MP APS-C (22.5 x 15 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5+ processor. On the other hand, Pentax KP has a
24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features PRIME IV processor.
Below you can see the 70D and KP sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon 70D and Pentax KP Cameras
Canon 70D and Pentax KP have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon 70D
or the
Pentax KP ,
including hyperfocal distance.
