— -- It's no secret that the iPhone effectively killed the market for point and shoot cameras and here's proof of how the device did it.

Photographer Lisa Bettany, co-founder of MagiCam and Camera+, put the cameras of all eight iPhones to the test, shooting the same object in the same light.

When looking at the results side by side, the evolution of the iPhone camera is stunning.

"Every time I do this comparison, I am amazed at how far the iPhone camera technology has come," Bettany wrote on her blog. "It has transformed the way we capture and share memories. With each new phone, we can capture these moments faster and more accurately with better quality images."
