It's like when 4K first camera around, people always asked why would I need to shoot 4K when there are no TVs in 4K? But it's about adopting tech early. So you may ask, if most monitors are 8-bit, then why get a 10-bit camera? Well there are many reasons!įirst of all, 10-bit will become the standard very soon and monitors will develop over the next few year to become better and better. 8-bit, while reliable and proven, simply doesn’t show you the whole picture. Now with all these HDR games and cameras, to get the benefits and experiences of these new graphics innovations, 10-bit is the only way to go.

Many consumer cameras such as the Fujifilm XT3, Blackmagic BMPCC4K or 6K and the Panasonic GH5S can now shoot 10-bit internal, which is a game changer when it comes to post production.Īlso when it comes to gaming and modern 4K HDR content, 8-bit is old tech! We are talking back in the 1980's. 10-bit has taken a storm lately in the camera world, many cameras that specialise in video are now able to shoot 10-bit video. They still work but they are not the best by a long shot for video editing or photography. Most monitors that you will find in the stores today are only 8-bit.
