Canon 750D vs Pentax K-x Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 750D and K-x.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon 750D to show extra detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern 750D will have an advantage in sensor technology.
