At the very widest setting the P1’s otherwise excellent lens does suffer from some fairly bad barrel distortion. Colour rendition is nice though.

Just stepping back a few feet and zooming in slightly reduces the barrel distortion to more manageable levels.

As you can see, the built-in flash has excellent range and coverage. An AF illuminator helps with low-light focusing.
