Virtually every DSLR and mirrorless cameras will correct for distortion in camera. On Nikon it is called Auto Distortion Control, you can turn it on and off after the fact for raw images. Lightroom and most other photo developing software supports this as well, with profiles specific to each lens and focal length. Turning it on results in the image being cropped very slightly as a result of the image being "straightened out" in camera for Nikon, or with a slightly larger overall size otherwise. Besides that very noticeable change there are physical limits on what the software can do, a lens with less distortion will have more detail as a result
