Yes. According to every oscilloscope manufacturer the competition has an ENOB of only 4 bit compared to their 16 bit. :-DD
These competitor comparisons are beyond useless!

Besides, I understand that even the magnificent S series falls back to 8bit modes in some typical scenarios. So they didn't only select a much more expensive scope with much higher bandwidth but obviously also selected a specific use case where their scope would shine and the other one would show its limitations. I mean, I understand that from a marketing point of view. It's still annoying to assume that all potential users are idiots.

Eh, they keep each other honest, and the constant shenanigans and call-outs have entertainment value. :popcorn:

I disagree, they are quite useful, as constant reminder that we shouldn't trust any of them blindly !! :-DD
On a serious note, when in need, you have to make detailed case study of your test case, and submit that to support/application support teams at vendors to see what they say.
When you ask them specific questions, none of them will lie, and will quite honestly admit what they can offer you for your use case...

Nope ! It's a 1GHz bandwidth scope that can't display 1GHz and that has an ENOB of 8 bits or less even though it claims 12 bits !
If it was a Tek scope a few of them on here would be all over it bagging the crap out of it !
