Exhibited Japanese street photographer Shin Noguchi, who has also been featured and interviewed by Leica’s official blog, has compared the camera quality of Apple’s latest flagship iPhone 7 with that of Leica’s high-end M9-P digital rangefinder, by shooting the same scenes and then comparing them side-by-side. Looking at the results, no wonder the pro photographer was blown away by the quality of photos taken with iPhone 7.
“The iPhone 7 is the best 1/3″ sensor camera, nothing more, nothing less,” says Noguchi.
The left half of the following image was captured by an iPhone 7 camera and the right half was shot with a Leica M9-P with a Leica Summicron lens, a camera kit worth over $9,000.
Check out the following crop comparisons from the two shots showing some impressive details in the frames, and share your thoughts with us in the comments.

Leica is much better.
Obvioulsy. It’s a dedicated device to photography, but for a multitasking phone that can also shoot photos, at a fraction of the cost of the Leica, not too shabby.
