To me this would seem like a major thing to consider these days with
everything capturing in
16 bit, but I never hear anyone discussing it.


John, The files are 16 bit, but often the data is less. Digital cameras
typically capture in 12 bit, and desktop film scanners like the Nikon 8000
in 14 bit.  Still, 12 bits is much more resolution than 8, which I believe
was your point.
