At least as a secondary tool.

A camera for each gear, each engine, each set of flaps, a couple for the tail, ect. would hardly be a technological advance.
That's a good question.
Just keep the cameras out of the cockpit is my only response.
The combination of a good CVR/FDR + good external video should provide investigators all the information they need.
