I use one quite a bit as I have a tendency to get sloping horizons when relying on eye-line-up only!

Yes I have used them for landscapes and panoramas, very useful, a good one is normally around £14. I now have two built into my new tripod head which is very useful indeed.
Not everything in life is Black & White, If only it were!

Now you've stopped shouting(:lol, the only way to find out is with a spirit level!ALL OF THIS ASSUMES YOUR SENSOR IS SET SQUARE (OOPS CAPS LOCK:blush

But check the prices if you order one, they vary from model to model in the listing.

Nothing wrong with the camera.
