I'm surprised no one posted this yet. It's pretty huge news.

So how does this work with a 10/12 bit display? Does the "Deep Color" option work?

The point to having 14 bit raw is that you'll have a lot more latitude to grade your image - your output is probably going to end up as a lossy 8-bit h264 web video anyways but you'll have finer control over white balance, color, and exposure.

drat. I just want to see some deep color content. It gives the video depth. Would have been nice to test it out.

I'm not sure what you mean by "deep color."

I doubt the image looks any better or has more depth if I have a 14-bit display.

Here's a raw DNG frame from straight off the Blackmagic Cinema Camera (converted to TIFF in Photoshop):

edit: welp it looks like there's no way to get the raw onto flickr without squashing it down to 8-bits.

That's Sony's word for their 12 bit and up displays.
