Normally, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 750D and A57.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon 750D to resolve greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger 750D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
