After lots of R&D finally i got the key solution.Use older version of cordova camera plugin.Current version is 3.0.0 use older version 2.4.1.

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-camera" spec="2.4.1" />

i know i am 6 months late to this, but i just had to go through the same thing. I also found that i could only use the camera plugin version 2.4.1 with any cordova version =< 6.5.0. After doing some research i found that with the cordova jump from 6.5.0 to 7.0.1, some stuff changed and now Phone Gap has different builders. I found that to be able to use the latest version of the camera plugin, i had to specify which Phone Gap builder to use. This forum post is talking about the same issue and they mention this article that talks about the changes in 7.0.1 (see the "Opting out of the new builder" area). 

<preference name='pgb-builder-version' value='1' />

After adding the above code to my Config.xml i was able use the camera plugin with its latest version (4.0.3 at time of writing). Now this is how the relevant line look in my Config.xml.

<preference name='phonegap-version' value='cli-7.1.0' />
<preference name='pgb-builder-version' value='1' />

<gap:plugin name="cordova-plugin-camera" version="4.0.3" source="npm" />

I hope this helps somebody as its took me a while to find it.
