what's stopping you from just taking the photo with say, a real camera. you know, one that's smaller than a phone?

Because if they find a camera on you, they can ask you not to bring it in and it's not a big deal. Cell phones are more difficult because they KNOW you have one on you, and it's more of a matter of if you can even stand to be without it, given it's value in the business world to a legitimate employee. If your company said no digital cameras, it wouldn't be a big deal, but no cell phones could be a huge problem.

If it were my decision though, and my company did have a need to prevent people from bringing in cameras, i wouldn't trust a software lockout to that.
