Panasonic Lumix LC1 thoughts?
I was getting crazy not understanding what was I doing wrong to be honest,
You see this guy's post

and even thought I am not the best photographer in the world and most likely my shoots won't look like his, I was very very frustrated trying to capture a decent image.
Thank you for your help guys, next week I will call the guy to bring it back.
Yeah I agree with @sprucebruce. I somehow missed your first set of pics and only saw the second, but the first set definitely look like the lens is messed up. It has the same look of if you free hand a lens over a sensor, which I've done when trying to find out the right distance for an adapter I'm designing. A lens baby tilt kind of effect.
I think your shots alone show it, but you can also set up a shot on a tripod against a flat surface as the subject, preferably with lines (like a brick wall). The shot should be equally in focus, with maybe some drop off in sharpness towards the edges as lenses do, but equally in focus. If you have parts of the image out of focus then the lens is decentered to some extent.
Those lens shades do look different, but I see them in the stock photos of the camera so I think that's just a built in lens hood of sorts.

True the lens shades once checking online is what you say, seem to be normal (thank god xD)
Also true I agree with sprucebruce,
Will call the guy tomorrow,
Cheers guys,
