To sum up, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 750D because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 750D will provide greater detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent 750D should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
