At this point, most sensors are 14-bit capable. While the sensors in Hasselblads are 14-bit, it has been said that they pad the files and advertise that they are 16-bit. This is marketing, not engineering.

 

12-bit image files can store up to 68 billion different colours and 14-bit image files store up to 4 trillion. As a point of reference, all JPEGs are limited to 8-bits and if produced with skill can look terrific. The human eye is only capable of distinguishing between 2.5 and 16.8 million different colors and that is covered by JPEGS. Nothing wrong with shooting 14-bit files, but don't expect to see an improvement unless the image is horribly underexposed.
