[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 406625, member: 13090"] Agreed... ADC's (Analog to Digital Converters) have been around a long time. All in all, it's a simple process of classifying varying voltage levels into levels of brightness and assigning them a value on a binary scale (0's and 1's). DSLR's would need to have at least an 8-bit ADC to convert the incoming analog signal into 256 shades of black and white but they probably toss in a few extra bits for error correction and other such pedestrian tasks. I don't really know but I'd hazard a guess 12-bit ADC's are probably standard, or at least common, but that's just a WAG on my part. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
