Can you open the phone's camera from the game to take a photo and upload it to a server?

I'm loving this engine's concept. But I am about to make a game where it is crucial for me to allow the player to open the phone's camera, take a photo and upload it to a server, also to show text/images and create simple forms with text input at least. Is this possible in any way on Godot engine?

Yes.

Device access is via the CameraServer:

For the latter part of your question, of course. The godot UI will help you design a form, while the HTTPRequest node allows for interaction with a server, such as:
