Technically you are right about "less bit", but do we really see a significant difference?

Yes, of course you can see a difference if you push shadows and cut highlights in your landscape shots. Doesn’t everyone?

Long story short: All the photo manipulation tools should het better results when they have more bits to work with. If you shoot jpeg it doesn’t matter and if you don’t intend to push shadows it probably doesn’t matter but the difference always lies in the shadows, eh?

Sincerely, I’m not trying to win an argument. When you shoot 30 second landscapes, let’s face it, you’re shooting for perfection and 14 is better than 12. Yes, I think it can matter.
