Has anyone heard if this will be 14 or 16 bit color?
And as an aside, is this often a hardware limitation like eating up extra processing? Why don\'t we see 16 bit an a FF camera?
Yes it\'s a hardware limitation - 16-bit ADCs are slower than 14-bit ADCs.
Also there\'s a dubious advantage to be had from 16-bit - most of the time you\'re just going to get 2 extra bits of noise (which you can add to your 14-bit files if you like!) With a well depth of 80,000e you would need less than 1e of noise to make full use of a 16-bit ADC.
