Often, it can be hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The picture underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 750D and A580.

As you can see, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon 750D to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger 750D is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
