Flickr: Discussing Barrel distortion being processed out by JPEG conversion? in Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

 

Love this quote about the lens barrel distortion , the lux has the same lens so raw should be no different, unless they are tweaking the raw format towards the jpeg end as Sony is. Sorta kills the idea of raw,next it will be some sharpening etc, then on and on

The distortion is a little irritating, but I don't think it's the end of the world. At least we won't have to worry about an aftermarket fish-eye lens.
The interesting part is that the engine crops the image so 24mm is not 24mm ( as one would expect from a setup of this type) ......... All compacts do the same, ( pancakes lenses the oly 25mm distorts as the pentax 21mm does) what is the worry is the distortion at 2x zoom on the LX-3
