First, ditch the move camera/position camera commands after the detection of input. Then, put a 3d object (cube, high-poly animated dude, whatever) in the scene. If the user presses a key make the object move, not the camera, then position the camera where the object moves. You can then check for collision on the object, and since the camera only moves when the object moves you get the illusion of camera collision.

I take this one step further, less economical on processing, but effective.

I move the camera using SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW (Which suits my needs perfectly). Then I move the camera's hidden box to the same position, perform collision detection and move the camera a second time to adjust if necessary.

This creates fantastic camera movement in my racing app, allowing the camera to move between vehicles without colliding.
