My iPhone stopped taking pictures today – it would take the picture but then you would go to the album and the picture would not be there. There would e little picture outlines – one for each picture I thought I took – but no thumbnail in there.
Thankfully I found this on the web – and it has worked for far.

1. Make sure your phone has been synchronized in the version of iTunes you are using.
2. Restore your phone. (in itunes in the summary tab click the restore button)
3. After JUST the phone settings are restored, DO NOT restore your personal information from a back-up. It will prompt you for this, don’t close this screen just hold off on it for now. Disconnect the iPhone and take a photo. The photo should now appear in the camera roll, as usual.
4. Reconnect the phone and import the photo into iPhoto; do NOT delete it from the iPhone. (after importing it choose “keep originals”)
5. NOW go back to itunes and restore your personal information from a back-up.
