Have you ever used one like mine. You don't even know which one I am
using but typically, you disparage it.

Read about it.

As I said, it is not cheap, but I find it very useful.

I think he already mentioned it's not cheap.

Your ignorance and/or stupidity is underwhelming.

If you don't like it, don't use it.

Another gem from the grandmaster of non-sequiturs. :^)

If they did manage to significantly increase resolution in a
small sensor, wouldn't that greatly increase "noise" in the pictures?
I've read that the closer together the photosites are, the more noisy
you can expect the photo to be, even with CMOS sensors.

for the same sensor technology, that's true, however, they keep
improving sensors and nikon's mirrorless camera supposedly uses a
backside illuminated sensor, which will be a major plus.
