Camera

The Camera is an item and an entity in Pocket Edition. The textures of this item can be found by going into the files of the game.

Usage
To use a camera, equip it to your hand, then look in the direction you want the picture to be taken. Long-press the screen, and a camera will drop to the ground where you're standing. Step back, then press on the camera until it starts emitting smoke particles. The smoke means a picture has been taken, and the camera may disappear immediately afterward. Cameras have infinite uses.

The location of taken pictures depends on the device, either Android or iOS.

Future
At the Minecraft Pocket Edition panel at MineCon 2012, as well as one of Jbernhardsson's livestreams, it was stated that future plans include trying to have a proper use for cameras, perhaps an easier way to take screenshots and share them with others. In the BlockTalk Q&A, the camera was briefly mentioned as part of a broader «sharing» theme planned for MCPE in the future.

Trivia

 * The camera seems to be based on the large format camera.
 * When placed, the camera can be «hit» (damaged) only once, but when you do so it will receive knockback and play the standard player «ooh» sound.
 * It is possible to take a picture of the menu screen by going back to the menu before the camera disappears.
