I very much doubt you or anybody else will be able to tell the difference between an 8 bit and a 16 bit image except it will take up a lot more space on your HD.

What are you doing with your images? THAT is the question.

If you are using them on the internet, or printing them with an inkjet printer then NOBODY will know the difference.

The only way anybody will know is if you use a high end calibrated printer ($$$$+) and the image has many subtle shades and graduations.

Don't waste energy worrying about it! You will find lot's of 'experts' debating this sort of thing till the cows come home. Read, but don't take too much notice and don't loose any sleep over it.

My two cents on the subject!
