I have seen threads covering the Atrix vs Iphone, Inspire vs Atrix but nothing showing the still picture quality between the Inspire and the iPhone. Recording quality doesn't matter to me, but I do take a lot of pictures with my phone and I'm leaning towards the iPhone due to its excellent still picture quality at the moment. But everything else about the Inspire I like a lot.

Personally and dont take this wrong, just my .02.
If you are basing your choice solely on the camera, thats not right. Think about it this way, what would you use the most on your phone, camera, music player, phone calls, text or web? If you said camera, stop reading and disregaurd, LOL. But i know its a important thing, I have owned a iphone 3gs, 4, dell streak, captivate and inspire all within a year! Yes i change phones alot, but thats because i hadnt found one that i love. I can notice a difference between the inspire and 4s camera, but its not like the difference between the 3gs and 4. Some of what you see is the screens, they have 2 completely different types. It (inspire) takes really good pictures. Back to the personally, dont let just the camera sway you from the right choice! You will be so suprised as to what you can do and change with android.

New to Droid, but here's my first impressions:
iPhone 3gs - Camera was worse then my Moto Razor Max.
Inspire - Camera is as solid as my 8mpx PNS Fuji

Yea I definitely do use the camera on my phone a LOT mostly because I don't own a real camera 
So my top criteria in my next phone are music streaming, web/texting (tie), camera. So its a pretty important factor. I like the inspire and iphone equally for my first two criteria so now its all coming down to camera quality as the deciding factor
Call quality is probably last on my list so if the iphone sucks at that I don't care I hate talking on the phone anyway. I want the best all around media device and like I said I'm liking both the ip4 and inspire equally. What is going to win me over now is what's third on my list... Still picture quality

Don't be deceived by the thread title Read through and you'll see that with the right settings, the Inspire camera does a decent job with photos.

I don't know and I really don't care. I hate cell phone cameras and would actually pay to NOT have one. I've been a photography enthusiast for years & have cameras that are smaller & lighter, and take excellent pictures that make cell cameras look like rubbish. They're easier to work with & so much faster.
my take on it... the worst thing is getting a steady shot... hard to do when you have to tap the screen... in anything but great light this can result in blur... on the plus side the screen is good enough to see that it blurred... by camera phone standards it's pretty dang good... i can snap a pic and not appologize for it's quality... the worst thing on it is the horrid white balance settings... you really have to play with them to get it looking proper (so people don't look super orange or blue)
my 6 year old 5.1mp point and shoot gives me better pics than my phone (or any phone i've ever seen/played with)...
if quality is your goal even a sub $100 point and shoot will do better... but just as a camera to catch moments at random places it's fine IMHO...
that being said neither will hold a candle to a proper DSLR even an "old" 6mp... but you can't exactly slip that in your pocket ;-)

Once I have a new baby, I realize how important the camera on the phone is. I dont always carry my Canon camera and Sony cam every moment of the day. The phone is with me 24 hrs.
For those cute shots of the moment, nothing beat zipping the phone out and take a quick snap before all that cuteness replaced by crying.
I have the Captivate, which at&t conveniently decided to eliminate the flash... arrrgh. Looking to either the Inspire or Atrix now.
