So I'm looking to buy a new mid-range phone and I can't figure out which one to get, the reason why I'm buying a new phone is to take still pictures for my mum's website (she sells handmade products) I also need a new phone so buying a phone with a good camera instead of a point-and-shoot is the better option. The first choice is the Samsung A5 2016, it has everything I need for a good price. The other choice, which has been recommended to me, is the Huawei P9 which is a great device aswell with a better camera, but it's a lot more expensive. So my question is: Is the P9 worth the extra 200$ for only taking better pictures (performance doesn't matter as the A5's performance is good enough for me)

Here is the picture quality I'm aming for:

With Samsung you are getting better screen (AMOLED) and better screen protection (gorilla 3 vs 4) and better battery life, despite Samsung has smaller battery by 100 mAh. Yes P9 has a better hardware and may be more fluid, but I had opportunity to use A5 (2016) for a while and I was impressed by device at this price category. One negative point for me - it is very slippery (glass and aluminum design) without case on it. So you should get it if you buy A5. As for the camera, it takes very nice pictures which is comparable with my Samsung S6. Only in dark conditions you can see some slight differences but as I understand you not going to take pictures of your goods at bad lighting conditions.
In my opinion 200 $...

In my opinion 200 $ is not worth to spend on P9 just to have a slightly better (in theory) camera.
