Excellent work! So, is there any difference in processing between 8-bit and 16-bit? I remember trying to shoot in 12-bit once a long time ago, and I barely had enough memory to capture 4-5 clips. It takes up a lot of space.

Yes, there's noticeably less color noise, and I didn't have to blur the color channel as I usually do with 8-bit. The file is certainly larger, but it's worth it...
