The problem is not with the camera, it's with the pictures takers technique.
There is a saying "when the drunk can't dance, that doesn't make the floor crooked".

Good one! Kind of like, the fork didn't make Rosie O'Donnel fat or, It ain't the keyboard that mis-spelled the word.

I guess all you can do is make sure your color temp is set for your lighting (incandescent, fluorescent, natural sunlight, etc) move the camera around until the image you see on your cam's LCD screen is what you want on your photo. Hold still and push the shutter button.

Adobe Photoshop, along with other free applications such as GIMP (still a free download, I think) are digital darkrooms that can really help make your photography look great. I don't use GIMP, but last time I tried it out for a friend, it looked very much like Adobe PS, only the tools all had different names. There is an online tutorial that, while lengthy, will teach you things you never thought possible about manipulating the attributes of your digital photos. I urge you to try it. You might thank me...or curse me, who knows. This kind of software can go a long way toward making the floor "not crooked."

#1 rule for sharper pictures:
use a tripod
