Another area where 14 bit is better is in colour gradation. There are four times more shades in 14 bits than in 12 bits, that means that there will be less posterization of the blue sky.That apart for normal shots it makes no perceptible difference. If you want more burst speed then go for 12 bits, other wise stick to 14 bits (you never know when you need those extra 2 bits!), especially with SD card prices going down it makes little sense to skimp on storage.</blockquote>
