Likewise, the softer wide open shots only show as soft at 8x12" or so
(for a 35mm cropped sensor camera)

This is only true for all poorly figured DSLR glass. The same cannot be
said for true diffraction-limited glass (the most precise lens polishing
that money can buy), as is found in nearly all higher-quality P&S cameras.

LOL!

Simple test:

If somebody claims that a $400 camera has optics that are as good as
those in a $2000 lens then they are a liar or a crackpot.
