while theoretically possible I guess, it's highly unlikely to be a camera defect.
Most likely he either doesn't know how to use his equipment or doesn't recognise a straight horizon when it pokes him in the eye.

Hiya Dave,
I've had just a quick glance at these only. You may be able to glean something...

This is most likely to happen on wide angle settings. Try zooming to 50mm onwards and the horizon should level as it should.

I'd say it's the tripod or else he isn't lining it up right. Cheap tripods move once you THINK the horizon is lined up - tell him to not use the viewfinder grids but his own eyes. Have him continue looking thru the viefinder as he adjusts the pan\tild knobs on the tripod, but to pay attention when he lets go of the knobs - still looking thru the viewfinder.
I once had a cheap tripod where I had to set it a little off so that when I let go of the knob it settled into the horizontal. He may need to just buy a bettter tripod, but tell him to continue looking thru the camera. Even after the shot, look thru and see if the horizon is level.
