Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you select at the time. The following is the front view proportions comparison of the 1D MII vs the 750D.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1D MII and 750D is 50 and 66 respectively.

Sometimes, its hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements purely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D MII and 750D.

As you can see, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1D MII having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon 750D will result in more detail having an extra 16MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 1D MII will be behind in sensor technology.
