Canon Rumors - Your best source for Canon news, rumors and creators
At a dinner party last weekend, we were discussing aspects of our amateur photography.
Being the resident geek, I'm usually asked my opinion about different equipment, and usually have halfway competent answers. These are mostly folks who have higher end gear than me, but generally, at the same events, end up asking me for shots because I do well with my 'pro-sumer' range of gear.
One question completely flattened me was about "when canon is going to come out with a 16-bit camera".
Seriously, that was the face I made (I'm not going to go on about this or that if I have no clue). Asked to explain, he said that canon camera bodies are 8-bit color and there are new 16-bit models of other cameras that increase the dynamic range of color.
Did he pick up some marketing-speek somewhere and it just not come out right? Someone clue me in please
Thanks guys.
