Most all that have a camera have some form of a lower-res video stream back to the controller, for visual confirmation of the shot, but the high-res stuff is stored onboard until landed and downloaded later.

Race quads don't have high res cameras, for the most part, but they do have lower-res with a video stream for FPV flying of courses. (Googles so it appears that your eyes are on the front of the quad).
