Another good article on bit depth. Quote: "Not long ago, most cameras functioned in 8-bit mode. Then the higher-end DSLRs became capable of using 12-bit capture. Now they are up to 14-bit, which is a *huge* benefit to photographers. If you don’t understand bit depth, these may sound like incremental improvements. But they are actually *exponential* improvements." (emphasis mine)
