OK, another DSLR question: it's commonly discussed how with 1.6 FOV
factor cameras you have to go to a much wider angle lens to get the
equivalent FOV of 35mm. So far so good, for FOV, but what about
spatial distortion? Does using say a 15mm lens to get a 24mm FOV
still produce the wider angle lines of convergence of the 15mm and
its accompanying distortion? Maybe I've just missed this aspect
being discussed, or perhaps this is just an assumed part of the w/a
problem with these cameras? Feel free to point me to articles,
etc...

I think the 'distortion' you're referring to is the distortion due to
mapping 3 dimensional objects onto a 2 dimensional plane. That
depends purely on angle of view, so a truly rectilinear 24mm lens
will have the same 'distortion' on a 1/20/30D that a 38mm lens will
have on a FF camera. 10mm on a 1.6x factor camera is equivalent to
16mm on FF, etc.
