Plainly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 750D to deliver greater detail due to its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more recent 750D will have a benefit in sensor technology.
