I was gonna shitpost but that's actually a pretty interesting question.
I'm gonna answer TIFF/A. It's a work in progress as far as I know but still I've yet to see a better one. Then again, what is "better" anyway? How can a thing like "highest quality" be measured?

In terms of quality vs size, nothing beats jpeg.

We aren't talking about subjective image quality. The highest quality format is the format which preserves the most information from the original input. That would be a lossless format which preserves information at a 1:1 ratio. No compression.
Most digital cameras come with a RAW format, which takes data directly from the sensor and stores it with a bit-depth of 12-16 commonly.

are there any image formats with variable bitdepth?

Wrong. If you are storing rasterised vector graphics the PNG compression algorithm results in smaller files. Jpeg is better for photographs (images with lots of variation and noise).
