There was another LL piece in which Nathan Myhrvold famously summarized:


> In the case of the Canon G7, an excellent 10 megapixel point-n-shoot
> camera (which I also use), it is diffraction limited at f/2. Yet the
> minimum aperture on the camera is f/2.8.

The back-and-forth between Myhrvold and Charles Johnson, who wrote the
original LL piece, is worth reading if you're interested in this sort of
