Usually, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 20D and D750.
Clearly, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 20D with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon D750 will give you greater detail with its extra 16MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The older 20D is going to be behind in sensor tech.
