Hi,
Is there any advantage to using 14bit?
I use this now but saw an article on Photography Life with lots of photos as evidence . This showed that the human eye cannot perceive the difference, concluding that its not worth using 14bit, particularly in view of the extra storage requirements .
Your view please.
Easy answer! If you shoot RAW there is very little reason to ever shoot 12-bit as opposed to 14-bit. If you don't have a very solid reason, based on a very good understanding of the difference, shoot 14-bit.
The "extra storage requirements" simply are not a problem with 1 TB USB hard disks going for under $100.
The advantage is 2 fstops more dynamic range on most cameras.
