Smartphone cameras have gotten better in recent years with some even offering performance on par with some DSLRs and Rangefinders. Shin Noguchi is a Japanese street photographer and he has decided to pit the camera from one of this year’s flagship devices, the iPhone 7, against a Leica M9-P with a Leica Summicron 35mm f/2 lens.

So how does an $800 phone stack up against a camera setup that sells for $9000? Shin takes both cameras for an outdoor shoot and from the results, the iPhone 7 doesn’t do badly.

In Shin Noguchi’s words ”the iPhone 7 is the best 1/3” sensor camera. Nothing more, nothing less.”. While the Leica rangefinder does a great job, he said he’s fascinated by the photo quality of new smartphones.

Need an extra reason to get the iPhone 7? You have it up there.
