My point was also, that I would doubt that there is physically(!) more information than 16e6 possible values per pixel. A digital gray scale CCD camera with more than 12 bits costs multiple 1000s of Euros or Dollars...
Every current DSLR camera has more than 8bits per color, a Canon EOS 450D has 14bit for example. While a human eye might not see any difference with more than 8bits, you can use the information when manipulating the image (e.g. change the exposure/brightness).
