This would be a very useful functionality indeed… being able to **quickly** incorporate pictures into your notes, would save the need to type an entire paragraph just express what a simple picture immediately can. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

The word **quickly** is important, you have to be able to capture the image immediately during the process of note taking - not having to take the image and then find the image and then attach the image… which is how it is currently implemented. I am surprised this feature hasn’t yet been implemented.  
I made [this post](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/feature-plugin-idea-add-a-camera-tool-in-the-toolbar-to-quickly-add-images-using-the-phone-camera/30351) in Mobile category asking for the same.
