<head>
<title>Capture Photo</title>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-1.6.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var pictureSource; // picture source
var destinationType; // sets the format of returned value
// Wait for Cordova to connect with the device
//
document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady,false);
// Cordova is ready to be used!
//
function onDeviceReady() {
pictureSource=navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
destinationType=navigator.camera.DestinationType;
}
// Called when a photo is successfully retrieved
//
function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageData) {
// Uncomment to view the base64 encoded image data
// console.log(imageData);
// Get image handle
//
var smallImage = document.getElementById('smallImage');
// Unhide image elements
//
smallImage.style.display = 'block';
// Show the captured photo
// The inline CSS rules are used to resize the image
//
smallImage.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}
// Called when a photo is successfully retrieved
//
function onPhotoURISuccess(imageURI) {
// Uncomment to view the image file URI
// console.log(imageURI);
// Get image handle
//
var largeImage = document.getElementById('largeImage');
// Unhide image elements
//
largeImage.style.display = 'block';
// Show the captured photo
// The inline CSS rules are used to resize the image
//
largeImage.src = imageURI;
}
// A button will call this function
//
function capturePhoto() {
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType.DATA_URL });
}
// A button will call this function
//
function capturePhotoEdit() {
// Take picture using device camera, allow edit, and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 20, allowEdit: true,
destinationType.DATA_URL });
}
// A button will call this function
//
function getPhoto(source) {
// Retrieve image file location from specified source
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType: source });
}
// Called if something bad happens.

function onFail(message) {
alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}

Both your capturePhoto() and capturePhotoEdit() functions need to have the destinationType updated.
navigator.camera.getPicture(
onPhotoDataSuccess,
onFail,
{
quality: 50,
destinationType.DATA_URL
}
);
should be like this,
navigator.camera.getPicture(
onPhotoDataSuccess,
onFail,
{
quality: 50,
destinationType: destinationType.DATA_URL
}
);

Did you Add permission and Camera feature on your AndroidMenifest file? If you didn't add then try again.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

In your code change the cordova version. Now you have "cordova-1.6.0.js" you should change it to "cordova-2.5.0.js" I think it will work after that. like this
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.5.0.js"></script>

I have been having the same issue, I've got the getPhoto() function working now, but still can't get the cameraPhoto() or cameraPhotoEdit() functions working. I have done pretty much everything listen in this post and more.
Oh and you could try some of the solutions listed here:
