I think the intent of the designer of Android is that instead of detecting camera presence at runtime, developers should declare the CAMERA permission in the AndroidManifest file. Also, include the <uses- feature> tag. Then your application would be downloaded only to devices that have a camera.
But just in case you really do have some interesting application that really should be downloaded on either, you can always resort to the open() method of the Camera object, (from the android.hardware package) and check for error. Don't forget to set the callback Camera.ErrorCallback (define its onError() method).
