The bit depth coming out of the camera may not be fixed or neatly aligned with 8, 16 bits, etc.
Say you have 14bpp (per RGB colour channel if it's colour) coming out of the camera then that will most likely be saved in a 16bpp file format with zero-fill for the unused bits ... but I'm guessing a bit there because I don't know what each image capture application is going to do. And then the image processing application may manipulate that to something else when opening the saved file.
Edit: deleted a short explanation of L, RGB, YCbCr etc. ... it's too complicated to cover in a forum post.
