Reading Rob's comments I have to agree again that most of your shots in your gallery exhibit flare to a greater or larger extent so that camera or rather it's lens does seem prone. As for compacts giving barrel and pincushion distortion this is true (worse on some zoom lenses than others) but how much you notice it is a personal thing. Me, I do not notice it unless it is really bad and I do like a zoom lens on my compact! If you look at my gallery many of the pictures are taken on a zoom compact (each shot does tell you what the shot was taken with) and all the China ones are.
