R10 vs iPhone 13 Pro on Video

Thanks for this comparison.

iPhone is doing very well here considering its sensor and optics tiny size. Yet it falls clearly behind R10 in terms of dynamic range, highlights range, detail rendering, sharpness and the natural feel from the scene.

The iPhone 13 Pro is able to capture a good deal of dynamic range.
The issue here was that when this video frame was extracted, the app did not interpreted the Dolby Vision video as HDR, but SDR.
The major difference I see here is in regards to Depth of Field, with the Smartphone tiny sensor plus the crop it uses for video mode, obviously the R10 has a superior DOF control but only if you use a bright lens.

I'm surprised the iPhone was this good and it can be better. I might do it again tonight using a different App to bypass the HDR format for a better comparison.
The iPhone UWA camera was trash in low light since it uses an even smaller sensor.

Between the three lenses it is hard to guess since each of them seems to be focused a bit differently. But I like the Tokina the most, then RF, then EF-S. But different scene might give different results.

Agree, another surprise was the Tokina, this lens is as sharp as the RF16 and it only cost $50 more, a bargain for a zoom lens but is much heavier and bulky.
The EF-S 10-18 lens on the other hand narrow apertures produces too much noise, making the iPhone a better tool for low light interior scenes and little, if any DOF advantage.
