* What is the desired behavior of the feature? (Be specific!)
In "default apps" settings screen, have new items:
1. "default camera" - for the normal taking of photos. Should be triggered via the normal triggers: double press on power button, drag from lock screen, etc...
2. "default camera app for picking image" - to handle image picking, meaning these actions:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore#ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE_SECURE
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore#ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE
3. "default camera app for picking video" - to handle video picking, meaning this:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore#ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE
As long as there wasn't set a default, either on this screen or when choosing (with the "always" button), it should always ask which to use.
* If relevant, why are current approaches or workarounds insufficient?
Sadly the new restrictions prevent users from choosing which app to use for picking images and videos. Even developers will have it hard to provide the users a nice choice to do it, at least according to what's currently written:

* If relevant, what new use cases will this feature enable?
Be able to still have choice for users to camera app to pick image/video.
After all, sometimes a third party camera app can do better than the built in one.
Some say that some OEMs don't even have a camera app that handle those Intents properly, too.

We have passed this request onto the development team for possible considerations and will update this issue with more information as it becomes available.
Description
By default, it will be with confirmation, to ask which to use.
And it will have another option, to choose which to always use.
Sort of "default app" for each picking type.
