Canon 750D vs Sony A380 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by going through specifications. The image here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 750D and A380.

Plainly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 750D to provide extra detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern 750D is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
