There's a simple code demonstration here showing your to put the camera API to use for Windows Phone 7 apps.

Issues noted from the CTP are since resolved.

The only way to access the camera is CameraCaptureTask. (Note: Unfortunately I don't believe it works in the current Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP.)

According to this post at the MSDN community forum you cannot access the camera either in Silverlight or XNA. You can ask the user to take a picture and then access that, but you cannot access the camera directly.
