Point and shoots with least barrel distortion?

Question

The title says it all. Which point-and-shoots have the lowest barrel distortion? I know some are better than others... but navigating my way through reviews of scores of cameras is proving to be a daunting task...

Answer 1

Why start with barrel distortion? I would decide which features are important to you (zoom lens range, Megapixels, Size of Screen, type of memory media, which brand, Movie mode features).

Once you have narrowed it down to a few cameras, then dig into the reports to see which has the best barrel distortion.  

http://dcresource.com reviews always look at barrel distortion.

If you choose the top camera makers and their top line models, I don't think you will have problem getting a camera that has too much  barrel distortion.
