Gosh, it's hard to tell, because my eyes play tricks because of the different dimensions.

I'm inclined to agree with you that the top image "looks" more correct but to me the difference is fairly subtle, and I don't completely trust that it isn't my eyes being influenced by the difference in image size. (BTW, the guy is really cute, too!)

Do you have the camera and a piece of graph paper that you can check it that way? It's the only way I can think of (unless you happen to have an NTSC test pattern) that you can definitively check for distortion.

And now that you've brought this to my attention, I should probably do the same thing with our camera. If I get a chance, I'll do that and post the results.
