There's no image insert button to use when composing an email. I want to insert image inside email content like the way we do with Outlook.

Insert an Image Inline in Gmail
To add an inline image to an email you are composing in Gmail:
- Make sure rich text editing is turned on in the Gmail message you are composing and Insert images is enabled.
- If you see a Rich formatting » link above your message's text editor, click it.
- See below for turning on image insertion.
- Drag and drop the image from its folder to the desired position in the message.
To use an image you found on the web, or to upload from your computer if dragging and dropping does not work:
- Position the text cursor where you want the image to appear.
- Click the Insert Image button in the message's formatting toolbar.
- To upload an image from your computer
- Click Choose File and open the desired graphic.
- You can click Choose File again to add another image while others are already uploading in the background.
- Make sure the desired image is highlighted.
To use an image located on the web:
- Make sure Web address (URL) is selected.
- Enter the image's URL under Image URL.
- Click Add Image.
Images you have uploaded from your computer remain available in the Insert Image dialog while you compose the message (but not for other emails).
Enable Image Insertion in Gmail
To turn on Gmail's Insert Image button:
- Follow the Settings link in Gmail.
- Go to the Labs tab.
- Make sure Enable is selected for Inserting images.
- Click Save Changes.
Ok, after a bit of playing around and the news that it should be possible, I've got it working. What's is strange because Display images below setting seems to stick even if you leave that mail and go back quite a while later, but never in the Entire message view.
Yet it seems that if you select Always display images from xxx then all images appear in the Entire message, which is what I was after.

To update things for the new (as of April 2013) Gmail interface:
You have a few options:
Drag the image from Finder/Explorer and drop it directly into your message.
Mouse over the
+sign at the bottom of the message, which brings up an "Insert" menu with a few options for photo sources. Select the camera icon, then browse to find the file on your computer.Use yifei's suggestion of switching back to the old compose method (This is likely just a transitional option, so it could be removed at any time.)
