Hmmm,
Below is an Oly add for the kit lens for the E-510. When I had pinged 
OLY ages ago they implied the CPU in the Lens provided info to fix the 
linear distortion and vignetting. There was a thread a couple months 
ago about the DZ 50mm.
Some of the reviews put the lens on an optics bench sans body and 
stated the results may differ than the DXO type of review that reviews 
the lens/body system. This seems to be low hanging fruit for the 
manufacturers that can design for the the best practical optics that 
produce easily correctable aberrations and not necessarily the best 
optics alone and thus save on weight/cost/size. Doubt they'll put a DSP 
on board to perform deconvolution analyses and process their way to 
more resolution for awhile at least.

"Engineered to be smart and tough. This lens is built to handle the 
demands of every photographer. It provides images that are sharp and 
colorful in a lens that is smaller and more portable than the 
competition. All Zuiko lenses contain a built-in CPU that actively 
communicates with the camera to correct any potential shading and 
distortion problems. And it is user upgradeable. Something impossible 
with film lenses."
