The camera itself isn't visible from the rear of the car. It's small and sits adjacent to the hatch release button. It's pointed downward and has a wide angle lense so it doesn't need to be along the long axis of the car.
My first 370 didn't have the OEM backup camera, my new one does. It makes a big difference in a car with very little rear view. My only experience with the monitor in the rear view mirror leaves me with the opinion that it's better than nothing, but quite inferior to the view on the Nav screen.
