Iphone 7 Vs Leica M9-P: A Side-by-side Photo Comparison by gabonsky: 11:22pm On Nov 22, 2016
How does the camera quality of Apple’s latest flagship smartphone compare to Leica’s high-end digital rangefinders? Respected Japanese street photographer Shin Noguchi decided to find out by shooting the same scenes and then comparing them side-by-side.

In the image below, the left half 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.

Here are the two shots by themselves:

Here are some crop comparisons from the two shots showing the details in the frames:

“The iPhone 7 is the best 1/3″ sensor camera, nothing more, nothing less,” Noguchi writes. He says he loves his Leica M digital rangefinders, but he’s blown away by the photo quality that is appearing in the latest smartphones.

Noguchi is a widely published and exhibited street photographer who has been featured and interviewed by Leica’s official blog. You can find more of his work on his website and Tumblr.

U will notice slight difference when looking at the pic from a smarthphone, especially when u have a 5.5 inch 720p display... the pics will look likely the same. But where u will notice the real difference is when u zoom in , or when u are looking at the pics on a big screen like 40 inch HDTV. Also when u actually print these pictures on a hard copy, u will know never to compare a camera phone to a professional DSLR Camera.

The M9-P features a minimalist external control layout that gives you access to critical shooting parameters and nothing more. The viewfinder is largely free of electronic data, save for the shutter speed when in Aperture-priority mode, a temporary confirmation of any exposure compensation adjustment and over/under-exposure indicators in manual mode.

The camera's external controls fall nicely in hand. Build quality is exceptional, with a magnesium alloy frame and solid brass top and bottom plates adding welcome stability without feeling unnecessarily heavy. The camera's compact size means it can fit in a small shoulder bag, and its light weight - compared to a full frame DSLR - means that you won't need to to visit a chiropractor after a day spent walking with the camera around your neck. A bright viewfinder allows for quick and accurate focus even in low light. Engraved depth of field markings on the lenses make zone focusing relatively simple.

The M9-P embodies nearly all of the traits that make film-era Leica M models such great analog cameras. Concessions to the needs and conveniences related to digital camera use, however, are few and far between. The user interface design is where we struggle most with the M9-P. Every other 4-way controller we've ever seen includes an 'OK' button at its center. Here there is nothing but what looks to be a placeholder for a button that was going to go there at some point. Instead, you're forced to continually confirm settings with the 'Set' button which is rather inconveniently placed on the opposite side of the camera body. And the awkward process of adjusting ISO, in which you must continue holding the ISO button while using the 4-way controller or dial to navigate the choices, never ceased to be frustrating.

the most expensive camera worth $9000 eqivalents to how much in naira?

Lol. Who told u iphone goes for 1,200? Abeg be sure before u post.

Oya compare the price of iphone to google pixel. U must be dreaming if u really think the pixel is cheaper.

And pixel never goes for $600. Official Google price for the 32gb version is $650 while retailers sell for between $750-800. official apple price for iPhone 7 32gb is $,650. Retailers sell for between $700-800. iPhone 7 plus is more expensive, so is pixel xl which will cost u around $1000
