Plainly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 750D using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 750D will give more detail using its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more modern 750D should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
