I still shoot with a Digital Rebel XT as well, generally with a 28mm/1.8 but I also have a 50mm/1.4. I just finished a two week trip doing entirely street photography with the 28mm and an iPhone 6.
No question, the Canon wins in everything except ease of use. I don't use it to take a snapshot of some street food dish, I reach for my phone. But for walking around Taipei street markets at night the iPhone doesn't come close. The low light performance of a large sensor with a wide-aperture lens is superb, even with a camera that's now 10 years old (still going strong!).

- mod 12y agoAgreed--which is strange, since I expect it's less likely to be used anywhere. Pictures with my phone often go straight to social media. Pictures with my camera are curated and I only choose the best ones. Maybe 2% are ever viewed by another living human.
