in order to enhance the rectilinear framing of the image within the
sensor format. ie- to avoid and fix curvature at the edges, the maximum
sharpness suffers a bit
It would seem to me that a) the camera/lens is doing its best. If you were in this commercially, then
-maybe- a 10mm non-zoom would be a tad sharper.

Also try auto focus mode which DPP will show you where you focused. DPP is a free canon produce and you can download it from their website if you haven't already done so.

It's still not perfect but that might also be because this was shot (accidentally) in jpg, not raw and IS was on. I think its looks a lot sharper though.

Probably not since it is a cheap, amateur level lens. I think I need to address the points above first i.e. squeeze everything I can out of it wrt to settings before I start on hardware.
