In many cases, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The visual below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 70D and D750.

As you can see, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 70D having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon D750 will deliver more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older 70D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
