I am so confused... I need to get back to taking images.

Here's where it all started. At this webpage:

http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/digital-camera-sensor-size.htm

the diffraction estimator indicates that a four-thirds sensor at 10MP 
has a diffraction limited aperture at 7.9. It seems my home tests 
confirm this with f11 beginning to show the signs of softening. Chuck 
indicates it's at f5.6 not f8 and drew a conclusion that my results were 
possibly due to the 14-54mm not resolving more than 4-8MP. Huh??? 
Where's my OM-1 and vinyl records. I'm starting to self-destruct.

Oh well... this is what I get for diving to deeply into tech issues I 
don't understand.
