As the question states:
Which phone has the best camera and video camera (plus software to upload from phone)

I think the iphone4 is the best to achieve this. But need something where i can upload family pictures and photos from wherever we are in the best quality as well.

Cheers in advance everyone!
 
Exactly what are you trying to ask?
You can upload pictures/videos to Photobucket. (Even high quality ones if you purchase a subscription service with Photobucket.)

Right now, I would say the iPhone 4 is one of the top 3 cam/video phones on the market.
 
The upcoming N8 should be the best. IIRC, I think one of the Ovi services allow you to upload high quality pictures to your own Ovi web space.

Motorola XT720 is another good phone. It's an Android phone with a 8mp cam (heard that it has a mechanical shutter) and a Xenon flash, also capable of shooting 720p videos. And pictures can be uploaded to web servies like Picasa.
 
I'd give the nod to the iPhone 4 for now. The N8 is very promising, but then you're also stuck with Symbian.

What's important to remember: it's not all about resolution, or even necessarily the size of the sensor. It's about how much light it lets in and how rich and well-balanced the colors, white balance and other factors might be. I've seen people gripe that the Droid X camera isn't as accurate or clean, for example. The iPhone 4 isn't mindbending, but what it does is avoid a lot of the usual phone camera flaws and have some great apps to support it.
 
Yeah, it's laughable that GSMArena gave the Galaxy S camera a higher score than the iPhone. Their whole iPhone 4 vs. Galaxy S battle was very weighted against the iPhone from the beginning.

I just shook my head reading most of the article.

I have used both the Captivate and the iPhone and with confidence can say that the iPhone camera outclasses the Galaxy S camera EASILY!!
 
I would pick the Motorola XT 720. 8 megapixel camera, Xenon flash, and Android has direct operating system support to uploading pictures. Any social networking app you add, also adds a service for you to directly upload any pic or video directly from the Gallery to the social networking site. Android can also cloud sync pictures on Picasa directly to the Gallery, so you can use Picasa like a picture storage and share them with your friends. The default Android Gallery app is the best picture gallery app I've seen in any mobile.

The pictures on the Xperia X10 is pretty awesome too with 8 megapixel, but only has LED flash and Android 1.6 for now. But Mediascape does make one hell of a picture organizer and uploading system, as it uploads and syncs to Facebook and Picasa.
 
Cameraphone = Nokia, sorry iPhone.

N86, N97, N97 Mini, even the N900 or N85 beat easyly the iPhone 4 camera. N8 is on another league.
 
That's usually true, but it's also influenced by what kind of sensor you're using. The iPhone 4 is using a back-illuminated sensor that handles low light considerably better than quite a few phone cameras.

One important factor in the iPhone is the display of your shots. Getting a "pixel-free" display with good colour balance helps quite a bit in telling whether a shot is in focus or noisy.
 
Not to be a party pooper, but smartphones really aren't designed as top-tier camera outputters. The size of the sensor is one of the biggest culprits, and all those 9mm-11mm thin smartphones with cheap cameras tacked on really can't compete in any logical way to some of the thicker dumbphones that were made specifically for camera usage. The thing smartphones have going for them, however, is 720p video, because you need a lot of processing power to record at that resolution.
