Both the K3-II and the K70 have features not found in the other, so I
think it would boil down to which camera has the features you would use
the most.
Based on reviews (I have not used either) the K3II appears to have
better AF ( at least it has more AF points and more cross AF points),
faster FPS, built in GPS, dual SD card slots and faster max shutter
speed. It also has niche features that may be important to some users
but not others - like pixel shift mode and astro tracer.
The K70 has a built in flash, built in wifi, an articulated screen and
pixel shift mode. And its priced better too. But slower FPS and maybe
possibly less capable AF.
I think it boils down to what you do and what you need. For my type of
shooting - macro's and landscapes - I'd lean towards the K70 mostly for
the articulated screen. I think the built in flash would come in handy
at times also. But for a sports or action shooter the better AF and
buffer speed of the K3II would probably tip the scales.
I did not dig in and look at projected shutter life or build quality and
those would be things to consider. The K3II as a flagship camera may be
built to a higher spec than the K70, I don't know.
Good luck -

Once I get a bit of monies saved up going to either get the K70 or K3
II. I currently have the K5 and I am wondering will the batteries for
it work with the either camera? Also I know that the K3 II is a bit
newer but so far it doesn't appear to be much difference in them. I
always like to think things out before making any purchases especially
when it comes to spending any kind of monies on myself.
Thoughts on either camera?
Thanks...
