To sum up, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 750D using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 750D will give greater detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern 750D should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
