Will the new image feature be integrated with the upload feature so you can upload local images easily? This would be very useful for us that uses the mediawiki software as a local wiki. Currently we use the extension msupload to make it smoother to add images for the users.
Topic on VisualEditor/Feedback
Yes, this is planned, though not in the next couple of months, at least.
Any more news on when this is planned?

Hi Daniel,
Apologies for the delay in getting an answer to you. They're still sorting out some of the technical requirement issues with the multimedia team, so it's not been possible to get anything like firm answer. My best estimate at this time ("subject to change without warning" 
) is maybe four to six months from now—definitely not before March 2014.
I'm not sure, however, whether it will be available for local/private wikis before or after it becomes available for the WMF wikis. It's possible that private wikis will be the easy case (no need to integrate with Commons or comply with 800 different image policies) and they'll do it first. But they might do it the other way around, in which case what you need might not be available until much later.
I am also waiting for this to be implemented. We are running a private wiki and only need the ability to upload images privately.
Just thought I'd add this in because we love Visual Editor, other than missing this feature, and of course the ability to create tables.
Is there currently a way to disable the image integration with Commons in a .php file somewhere?
