Talk about an exaggeration.
Other than uploading them on to the internet.. what on earth are you doing with these photos?

Megapixels aren't a indication of a good camera, its all about the CMOS sensor.
MP will sell phones as its easy to jam big numbers in there.
Info about CMOS Sensor http://www.gizmag.com/camera-sensor-size-guide/26684/
Comparing the Sony Z2 vs Sony QX100, both have around 20MP mark but the Z2 has a CMOS sensor of 1/2.3" and the QX100 has a 1" type - Thats a HUGE difference! Though the lens is also a massive part of this. Just trying to get across that you can't compare phones on MP count alone, there is so much more to it.

So am I the only one thinking the new camera looks pretty darn good?

So they in essence have two cameras on the front, one to measure depth and the other to do the bulk of the processing?

Off my list, I'll take a look when it's The Two.
This is embarrassing, compared to devices from last year it comes in last place in a camera comparison, yes a flagship device in 2014 is beat by pretty much every flagship device launched in 2013. 
They've made some improvements but it's nowhere near enough.

Well I've ordered my handset today with Vodafone as an upgrade from my current 2013 HTC One. They gave me the phone at such a good price (namely free) that I couldn't say no! I'm a little disappointed that the camera isn't as good as I'd hoped but it isn't something that I really use a great deal as I have an DSLR for proper photography.
It was a choice between this and the Z2. I decided against the Z2 in the end due to the software (my girlfriend has a Xperia Z and while it's quite close to stock Android I never really got on with it that well).
I'm going to see how I get on with Sense 6. My current One is a GPe conversion as I do really like the Google Android experience. I just feel that I miss out on some of the best features of the phone with this.
It's been delivered on Friday and I'll update with my initial feelings about the phone compared to the original One. Hopefully they will all be positive.

3 things IMO - lens, sensor and image processor. Either one could result in a poor image.
And you can still get a very good image with a 1/3" sensor if the conditions are favorable.
Too big for me. The HTC logo alone stops it going on my list.
Love the Z2 design but it's also on the big side. If only it had less bezel.
Think I'll go with the S5 when my upgrade is due.
Hate the S5 backing but I always use a case anyway.

Friend has one, it just looks so sleek and badass, always tempted to just buy one when I see it.
And they dropped OIS, lol. Don't really understand HTC sometimes.

Try them both out, must say the M8 looks a lot better, HTC have amazing design chops. If you don't care for the camera then the Z2 should have better battery life, slightly bigger screen, HTC will have better speaker.
I would say go to a shop and use both and see which you like the most, either way its a awesome device.

I think a lot of it is design now, internals are more or less the same, HTC has better speakers, screen more or less equal, they use the same SoC, Z2 has more ram but its not a big deal. Build are both great but again its personal taste. Software seems a lot more polished these days, again well have to do with taste.
Things are pretty competitive and no one is really don't anything ground breaking, HTC has some nice camera tricks and the Z2 is dust/water proof.
