Do all Canon digital compact cameras have the same issue with ‘pincushioning’ and ‘barreling’?
I just upgraded to a Canon SD970 IS camera, from a Powershot SD400. I noticed, in the reviews, that the lens in the new camera has an issue with ‘pincushioning’ in zoom modes, and ‘barreling’ in wide angle mode. This is, for those unfamiliar, an overall distortion of the image, either a bulging out or pinching in. My question is, are all Canon SD Powershot cameras about equal with regard to this lens issue?
Actually, almost all point-and-shoot cameras (and many SLR lenses) have this problem to varying degrees. In most cases people will never notice, but it can be more obvious on wide angle & longer zoom lenses (especially with straight lines, like buildings). Trying to make more happen in the same tiny package is always going to cause some problem.
