You don't need a quadcopter that has a camera. But if your goal is to take aerial photographs and first-person shots, you might want one. Although quadcopters are not very sturdy, the propeller is often the first to fail. A collision can also damage the arms and chassis. Cameras can greatly affect the price of a quadcopter, so you should consider which features you want. Camera drones are best if you desire first-person views.
