Calvin wanted a theocracy while Luther wanted separation of church and state.

Calvin denied that the Eucharist was anything more than a metaphorical memorial of Christ, while Luther held that Christ was present in the Eucharist, tho it remained bread and wine.

They also differed on whether free will exists, but that's because Calvin couldn't conceive that God could have certain knowledge of the future without determining how it would occur himself.

I suspect that their agreement on Baptism was aided by their mutual revulsion at the radical views of the Anabaptists on issues other than Baptism.
