I've recently been looking at some of the (to me) competitive digital
cameras. I want a small one, and will either use it in conjunction
with my much larger older one, or if it's good enough, it will be a
replacement for it.
However...
When looking at the CCD tech info, I find the following data,

Colour depth generally refers to the cumulative number of bits that represent
the individual colour components ie 24bit (red, green and blue) colour but the
same

10 bit x 3 = 30 bit = 1b colors

Okay, how do you get 1 billion colors from a 30 bit color depth?
I mean, 8 x 3 = 24 is easy to understand, but how do you get to 16 million?
What's the operator here?
