If the beam is wide enough to make hitting the camera easy, it probably doesn’t have a high enough power density to cause serious damage. And even if it does, from what I’ve seen the damage is usually limited to dead pixels on the parts of the sensor directly exposed to the laser. I think a shotgun would be much more effective since all you have to do is clip a propeller or an important part of the internals and the drone is going down.
But the trick is you have to manage to point it directly into the camera lense. May the odds be ever in your favor.
High-powered lasers have a very wide beam ;)

It definitely would be, but you can’t just order a shotgun online and have it delivered to you in a day like you can with a laser.
Why wait for shipping? Just take a trip to the Walmart and pick one up today. (The shotgun)
