From Ziggytek: In a MacWorld “shoot out” that proves smartphone cameras still trail behind dedicated cameras for image quality, the iPhone 4 came out on top with its 5-megapixel lens over notables like the unreleased Motorola Droid X and the HTC Evo 4G, both with 8-megapixel lenses (click the headline picture for an uncompressed 1605×1200 version).
