David, the Z series cameras can shoot 14 bit RAW. Just not the high FPS mode (so yes, a processing power limitation there). Sony does similar things too all the time. One thing for sure is that the Canon R will shoot 14 bit RAW only.

Thanks for confirming that you think there is a processor limitation BC!
   

We know it can shoot 14 bits slowly..........maybe I didn't allude to that accurately as I'm talking in faster FPS rates!

The D850 however shoots 14 bit files with the grip at 9 FPS........the D750 at 6.5 FPS.......the D500 at 10 FPS with exposure control!

How come these dinosaur DSLRs can do all at high FPS rates?

This is an undeniable step back in processing progress!

When Nikon's ML can do what the D850 and the D500 can do....................

Drop me a line!......

In the mean time I'll keep the 4 grand+ (battery box+ adapter+ an overpriced 50mm F1.8) ........ in my sweaty little pocket!

Thanks all the same...ha ha.
