  1. Most Smartphones and compact cameras shoot 8bit color depth JPEG photos. Cheap mirrorless cameras 12 bit raw photos. Most dSLR cameras 14bit raw photos. And the expensive medium format cameras shoot 16bit photos. Actually 8 bit photos is by far good for the human eye. But during photo processing with photoshop more bits offer better results.

  3. I still have doubts about the RGB in JPEG. From what I understand, in JPEG, each pixel may have one of 256 colors. That seems quite low. I read somewhere that it can be a combination of red, green and blue. But you don't mention that…
