I don't know if you can use external camera in emulator, but as i have experienced with Android emulator's camera, it has problems like sometimes it doesn't work and sometimes works if camera in the emulator works. You can see pictures taken in DDMS perspective top right corner in Eclipse and there you will see SD card/DCM/Camera/ also note that camera facility should be enabled in your emulator by AVR, and also SD Card support.
