More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by going over technical specs. The graphic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the D750 and Z50.

As you can tell, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The D750 using its larger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon D750 will deliver extra detail with its extra 3MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older D750 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
