The HTC Thunderbolt for Verizon Wireless is supposed to come with an 8mp camera/camcorder able to record in 720p.
It is supposed to use an all-new sensor for better performance in low-light situations and just better overall performance.
However, new info** from people who have the phone suggests that the camera performs pretty much the same as any other android phone (The Droid X, Incredible, etc) which would place it a tier below the iPhone 4.
Why can't android phone manufacturers match the camera performance put out by the iPhone 4? What do you guys think is the reason?
** by new info, I am referring to the poster "WorldOfJohnboy" who posts at DroidForums and has the pre-production model in hand. He does not have an NDA and is openly answering any and all questions about the TB. He is 100% legitimate, as he posted pictures of him with the phone, his username, and a timestamp.
here is the quote:
Note that he may not have known that the phone has an updated sensor. Either way, he said there is very little difference between his X and his test model TB.

Johnboy, any chance to check the camera quality and compare to the Droid X?? I'm not impressed with the X camera quality at all...
I did a quick compare last night, and the difference is minimal if at all. I believe they are the same specs, so it would make sense.
