Canon 750D vs Nikon D40X Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The photograph below might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 750D and D40X.
All in all, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon 750D to render greater detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern 750D is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
