[Leica] New M(246) Outputs 12 bit Files

[Richard Man]

The "bit-depth" is not dependent on the format. If 12 bits is good enough
for 35mm sensor, then it would be good enough for medium format sensor, and
vice versa.

Note that I have not said what I think personally on the technical merits.
I am just giving out the perspective that the decision is almost certainly
financial related rather than based on technical analysis.
