I was always under the impression that diffraction due to aperture too smal was a lens problem. Guess not.
It's a body problem.
well guys, go to the link below to have a read. Might be useful.

Well try read through the technical details, it's really quite useful.
A rough translation into layman's speak:
Smallest picture before diffraction spoils the picture-
D2X - F8
350D/20D - F10
D70 - F13
1DMkII/5D/1Ds - F16
1D - F22
Just thought that you guys would wanna know.
I know for sure this will change some bits of my way of photography..

Some diffraction is often ok if you are willing to sacrifice some sharpness at the focal plane, in exchange for a little better sharpness at the extremities of the depth of field. Alternatively, very small apertures may be required to achieve a long exposure where needed, such as to create motion blur in flowing water for waterfall photography.
