Well... Not exactly - if you got to 1/2 the speed of light (93,000 miles per second) the travel distance would double... Say 100' instead of 50'. That'd probably be far enough to exceed the range of most cameras!
No the source of the rf signal from the camera is moving at the same speed as the receiver. However, the picture would be distorted because of the doppler effect on light hitting the camera lense. Now we know why the viewing screens on Star Trek only showed forward images.
EDIT Actually, it gets a little theoretical here, because the image of the object you passed is moving at the same speed that you are, so all you would see is the image of the object as it appeared when you left it. You might just see a picture of your driveway. :)
