To me, the biggest flaw of the 1600 is the microlensing. It's just something you really can't effectively workaround.

So is it a bit early days for these types of cameras or have they arrived?
CCD is quite mature now but of course about to be no longer made.
The appeal of the 6200 is the really low read noise and the super high QE plus good dynamic range. It would be potentially fabulous for narrowband imaging.

The KAF-8300 has a 16-bit ADC but only 11.5 bits of dynamic range so it wouldn't matter if it had a 12 or 14- bit ADC.

Medium Format cameras are usually 16bit and what I read on DPReview is that 16 bit gives smoother transitions and more subtle colour variations than 14 bit.
Its likely mirrorless will end up at 16bit at some point when the computing power is up to the task.
