How the HV30 Barrel Distortion

Hi I am still doing research in anticipation in buying a HV30.
Well how is the barrel distortion on the HV30.
If anyone could record say a wall with corners seeable that would be helpful. I can remove some distortion but not too much. So much appreciated.

There is no more barrel distortion than other cams but the build quality is what you would expect on a 150£ cheapie,the menu functions are fiddly to say the least but the PQ exept for some strange judder i got in very windy weather but on a tripod is good,and at least being hdv it is easy to edit.

I think Chris was satirising the look and feel of the HV30 rather than alluding to a great deal he's found somewhere . . .
