Dear Mapillary,

Not being able to switch between camera modules is having a direct impact on the quality of the pictures that are being uploaded to Mapillary in general.

The camera module that Mapillary selects by default is most of the times not the best lens that a phone has available. Please consider adding this functionality in Android. I am seeing that it is quite a long time it has been asked for, and I am pretty sure that it will be useful for everyone.

Thanks,  
George

Your proposal is good, but not new …

We continue to wait for this opportunity for a very long time.
