change the name of the image to be saved to " [image name] [a number which increase after every loop] " By doing this your image will be stored with a new name after every loop.. otherwise all the images will overwrite the same name !

import cv2.cv as cv
import time

cv.NamedWindow("camera", 1)

capture = cv.CaptureFromCAM(0)
num = 0
while True:
    img = cv.QueryFrame(capture)
    cv.ShowImage("camera", img)
    cv.SaveImage('pic'+str(num)+'.jpg', img)
    if cv.WaitKey(10) == 27:
        break
    num += 1

now your images will be saved as pic0.jpg, pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg and so on..
