That's exactly what happens, although Canon would describe it probably as 
"correcting the lens 
distortion" (which is also what happens). From what I found on the web, the 
lens has quite a bit 
of barrel distortion at the shortest focal length, which you would want 
corrected anyway.

It depends on what you expect from the camera, I guess. For similar cameras 
that only provide 
jpeg output, no one would be the wiser. In this case, you also get access to 
the unprocessed 
raw file, so you see what happens during jpeg generation.

Are there any better alternative cameras in the same price bracket?

Remco.
