Quite often, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the D5100 and D750.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The D5100 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Nikon D750 will provide you with more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older D5100 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
