Diffraction blurs the image even for 10MP, given the small lens/sensor. The other 98 MP are used to remove noise, especially at low light

I assume this is similar to delta-sigma ADC/DAC, where you shift all the noise to a higher spectrum, so you can easily cut it all off?

I dunno, I took optics 15 years ago and only one signals class :P

I'd just average the lowest (N-1) pixels. N-1 because shot noise is a very bright pixel - if I have a bright pixel not including it is best for the avg. If the pixel is not surging, not including it doesn't affect my average much.
