How do the clubs and club doormen feel about digital cameras?
In other words, would they allow me in with one?

Just back from the White Isle. Here's the run-down:
Pacha and El Divino - no problems. No one checks you and I didn't have any guards walk up to me when I was taking snapshots with a flash. That said, I did not take pictures when security guys were nearby.
Amnesia - I forgot to take my camera that night, but no one frisked me and I didn't see guards on the prowl so I'm sure you could get away with it.
Privilege - didn't make it there this year but I seem to remember guards do some frisking last year. could be wrong
Space - definite policy against cameras. I got mine in because the guards, who do occasionally frisk you, did not do so to me. However, I did get caught taking snapshots and was asked to check my camera in at the entrance. After I pointed to the people with their camera phones all around me and made a sad face, they let me off and just said not to take any more photos. I did, but more discreetly.
In addition to photos, I actually got a total of about 5 minutes of film footage in Space and El Divino with my camera, which takes short film clips. I'll incorporate it with my videocamera footage at some point and post a link

Yes I Know the camera policy but how about the phones with camera? They can't say that 'leave your phone to cloakroom' or? I'm definitely going to take my phone with me.

not sure about Privelege, but at Space they caught me with my camera (as described above) but didn't say a word to others nearby with using their camera phones.

GREAT, thanks for info!
I've taken photos in all the clubs (with prior permission) and have been stopped by bouncers asking to see a camera pass in all of them.
Getting a camera in depends on how much the club searches on the door (which can vary by time in the club as well as club by club)....and if you do manage to sneak one in, it's obviously best to not to take any photos when there's bouncers nearby
Several reasons why the clubs don't let cameras in:
- many/most of the people in the clubs are on holiday...lots of people take cameras on holiday...would get annoying if say you were in Space and there were hundreds of flashes going off everywhere
- some clubs (Manumission for example) want to remain a bit mystical
- there are celebrities / high profile people in the clubs sometimes in a state they do not want to be photographed and appear in the tabloids
- clubs make money from an 'official photographer' who will charge you for taking photos
