Quite often, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reviewing technical specs. The graphic underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the D750 and K-30.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The D750 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon D750 will offer you more detail having an extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The fresher D750 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
