Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Digilux 3 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Nikon D750 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older Digilux 3 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
