All in all, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D750 because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Pentax K-3 III will resolve extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older D750 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
