How good is the 5 megapixel camera on the iPhone?

That's my personal opinion and having tried Nokia's and Blackberry's I can tell you that although some of these phones may be advertised as 8 megapixels or 12 megapixels the quality really isn't that good. I don't see the point in having more megapixels if you end up with a rubbish quality image that is grainy. However the iPhone works well as it has built in HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photography as well as a backlit sensor so photos in the dark are also better.

Using it for video is a delight as the results are amazing. Go to this link and look at the photos and videos taken with an iPhone 4: http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/hd-video-recording.html and http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/camera.html There's plenty of groups online that showcase photos from iPhones. http://www.flickr.com/groups/takenwithiphone/ (Some are taken with older models but even they look amazing) As for your question about whether your iPhone will match your 5 megapixel camera I can't be sure as I probably haven't tried your camera as there are so many Kodak cameras out there.

I can say that it gives my Kodak V800 EasyShare a beating in terms of quality. I prefer taking photos with the iPhone now over my Kodak as the quality is really good and the iPhone goes wherever you go so you never miss a photo opportunity. Also shown below is a video taken with the iPhone 4.
