HTC One has been an excellent handset; high standard of build quality, "basics" all fine (calls, battery, etc), with its main benefit for us being the fast camera (fast is vital when photographing young kids!). I hear from a fellow parent the Nexus 5 camera isn't quite fast enough for a speedy toddler but no personal experience of it.

Cardiak below said that the 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 updates fixed the camera issues you're referring to. that has not been my experience at all. The focusing is a bit better. Color is a lot better, but the shutter, if it had any improvements, seems negligible to me.

If camera is a big concern, go with the HTC One. Overall, the N5 is better all-around, though. The Moto X has a nice build, a decent camera, and "okay" specs. It seems to do well.

Yes, Update 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 address this :)

Really, so you mean the Nexus 5 has fast camera performance with these updates? I would definitely be interested in one, but fast picture taking really would be a "must have" for me.
