Find me a sensor which delivers better results with 16 bit ADC than 14 bit ADC and I'll be amazed.
This is effectively a purely marketing driver gimmick, two more bits to record random noise.
The only reason medium format systems have 16 bit ADC is because people wanted to see the bigger number. Even if for some reason a 16 bit ADC might perform better than a 14 bit ADC there really is very little reason to store it in the file.
Then again, Sony does no packing on uncompressed raw so filesize will be the same for 14 bit raw and 16 bit raw.
Which meme manufacturer will put this on their camera feature list?
