Should 12bit colour with the "New" E-5 bother me?

Oct 1, 2010

Should worry about 12bit colour with the "New" E-5 versus other systems with 14bit.
Are tonal gradation aberrations really noticeable?
Will my colour be visibly better with a Pro Rig from another camp?
Or is this just marketing ploy with the numbers, with no real value.

No. If it were 14, you'd have an extra 2 bits of noise.	Gena2	Oct 1, 2010
