While I have a rudimentary understanding of such things, it would seem that
the sensor itself, being the source of the image data is the most critical
component in determining the dynamic range of the recorded image.
Given, as I seem to recall, that other mfrs. may use the same sensor, I
don't understand how the overall dynamic range can be any better using a
different A/D convertor. The entire image may be more finely graduated, but
that would not extend the top or bottom limit of the range. Whether this
finer gradation is visible to the casual untrained human eye is yet to be
seen.
At least that's the simplistic view I have of the matter.

Don't think you would have found an answer reading the tread. Some hope for
better dynamic range, some says it will improve the colour nuances, and
some
say a little bit of both. As usual it is speculations, some qualified
speculations, but still speculation.
Personally I hope for a little bit of both.
We might get some real information in the days after sept. 14.

So what is the upshot of all this? I haven't followed every post over the
3-day weekend.
Does the increased bit depth actually equate to more dynamic range or is it
the same dynamic range graduated into smaller increments?
