In-camera lens correction is a safe bet. My G1 does this with m43 lenses (but not 4/3rds lenses mounted via adaptor). Useful, especially with wide-angles (say goodbye to distortion), but also impractical to evaluate all F and later lenses (A and earlier lenses don't identify the model to the camera and therefore couldn't support the feature in-camera). Supporting DA and D-FA lenses only is a good middle ground.
