I guess you have to use sliding collision then. here's a little demo if how you could do it:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=89539&b=1

This is what you can do:
1. Save the camera's old position
2. Place it at its new position
3. Do a sphereslide with the old and the current camera position
4. Position the camera at the result position

If you need a demo tell me, and i'll see if i can make one.

Actually what I do is just cast a ray from the the camera to the player. If the ray collides with something, move it up to the collision point and then a little further and repeat until it doesn't hit anything. This has the advantage of also preventing objects from getting between the camera and the player.
