Jonathan Bond-Caron commented on CB-753:
----------------------------------------
Agree that it would be nice for Cordova to fill this 'gap', native platforms
allow to check this:

negap
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12976725/checking-for-camera-access-in-ph
onegap?lq=1
If could likely be added int two ways:
- navigator.camera.isAvailable()
- device.hasFeature('camera');
> ER: API to query if device has a camera
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: CB-753
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-753
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Reporter: Jean-Pierre
> Priority: Minor
>
> Cordova does not offer any API to query the device for its capabilities, so
> one cannot know if it has a camera with which to take a picture without
> attempting to take a picture, falling through the error handler and then
> hard-match the error code -- a pretty poor user experience. i have seen some
> suggestion to check device.camera, but a device may still have a library to
> pull an image from while not having a camera, so that isn't likely helpful.
> there isn't even any way to find the specific hardware revision to match off
> that.
