I think the picture is awesome, but the first thing that caught my eye was that the columns were leaning to the left. if you look at the column closest to the edge of the picture, you can use that as a guide to straighten the image. Other than that, I love it.

Edit: after looking at it again, it may be that it's just the columns closest to you that are leaning. The rest are straight. So maybe crop out the leaning columns.

yeah, I'm kind of so I checked that too. In photos like this, the bottom line is the horizon - and that is straight. There could be some distortion particularly on the leftmost column that could be helped by some correction, but the fact that the rest of the columns appear to be straight tells me that this was probably a feature of that one column itself, and not a result of typical distortion. But you could try looking into that.

This may sound confusing. I do not mean "bottom line" literally.

I agree, and looked for a long time at it...

The horizon is what I used to level it, so I am thinking the column was crooked... Also could be factor of the 16mm focal length on a P+S lens...

oh ok. I was gonna say, if I knew it was 16mm, I'd have one already.

it's 35mm equivalent is 28-112mm - 28 is about the widest these type of cameras go. The only current one I can think of (off the top of my head) that goes wider is the Canon S110 (24mm).

don't get me wrong, 28 is plenty wide - but 16 would just be in a camera like this!

I do feel limited at many times at 28mm on the RX100 though.

Agreed, the exif is reporting the 35mm equivalent.
