Didn't know anime enthusiasts have an interest in 10-bit video, but I've always thought it's a great shame most consumer camera codecs are limited to 8 bits.

I have been waiting for h265 to surface in consumer cameras, and hopefully at 10 and 12 bit depths as options. Even if current monitors don't do 10 bits, there is so much information you can pull out of the extra data.

Many camera sensor chips can output 10 or 12 bits, it's a shame it doesn't get recorded on most cameras.

Hopefully Rec2020 on TV's and new blu ray formats will also push cameras.

Well, this was not the first time they adopted something early and left most of the world behind: widespread adaptation of the ogm then the mkv containers, followed by the complete swap to h264 over XviD, and I believe the abandoning of "must fit either onto a CD or DVD exactly" ripping and encoding rule was also a first.
