Camera does not save picture after taking it (camera roll always empty)

It looks like my camera is taking a picture... but then when you go the camera roll it's empty.

I had cleared a previous camera roll of a bout 125 pictures... then the problem started.

However, I reset the phone, have done two restores, checked for some funky sync configuration. Turned on sync, tried it, then vice versa. It will upload from my computer via sync... it's only saving pictures that the camera takes immediately.

I've taken roughly over 2,000 photos with this phone already.
