Especially cheaper hobby grade which can seem large, plenty of them don't have cameras. Then a large Segment have basic cameras that take video or images that are downloaded later to view but are not used to fly. As you might guess that makes taking spy photos hard blindly recording.
Most all that have a camera have some form of a lower-res video stream back to the controller, for visual confirmation of the shot, but the high-res stuff is stored onboard until landed and downloaded later.
Race quads don't have high res cameras, for the most part, but they do have lower-res with a video stream for FPV flying of courses. (Googles so it appears that your eyes are on the front of the quad).
Lots of organizations, gov't and otherwise, are using drones these days...police depts, assessors, etc.

I have a kamikaze drone ready to attack any invading drones over my property. Tell them to head to Walmart and starting learning to fly, attack from above. You can even hang paracord or strong string that will catch their props...of course it is really used to help you see which direction the drone is facing and if it is drifting on you...you are learning to fly after all!![]()
