Digicams meaning compact digital cameras? Of course they are not pixel sharp at 12mp at tiny sensor formats... wide open they already feel diffraction softening big time.
But that is not the case with APS-C, now is it? Sure, at f14 we won't see a big difference in print between a 10mp APS-C sensor image and a 24mp APS-C sensor image. But the 24mp sensor is not limiting anything there either. At f2.8, or f4, or f5.6, that is then where one still can take advantage of higher resolution.

For the dead center this is true. Starting mid-frame this is a very diminishing return on investment.
