All in all, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1D MII N due to its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Nikon D750 will produce greater detail due to its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The older 1D MII N will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
