Take a look at: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-photo-picker/
This was done by the NextStop guys, and is open sourced under MIT license. It basically uses an URL scheme to allow you to redirect a web user to a tiny native app long enough to take the picture, and then back to your web app to continue their experience.
I haven’t used it yet, but I saw them demo it in a webcast and plan on using it myself when we get our mobile site done enough to incorporate it.
