In many cases, its hard to see the difference in sensor sizing simply by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 500D and 750D.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon 750D to result in greater detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older 500D will be behind in sensor innovation.
