> When using camera.getPicture(), the cameraError is documented as a string but on Android & iOS, it's actually an object.
> On the native side in 2.7: 
> Android:
>     private static final int CAPTURE_INTERNAL_ERR = 0;
> //  private static final int CAPTURE_APPLICATION_BUSY = 1;
> //  private static final int CAPTURE_INVALID_ARGUMENT = 2;
>     
>     private static final int CAPTURE_NO_MEDIA_FILES = 3;
> iOS:
> enum CDVCaptureError {
>    
>  CAPTURE_INTERNAL_ERR = 0,
>     
>  CAPTURE_APPLICATION_BUSY = 1,
>     
>  CAPTURE_INVALID_ARGUMENT = 2,
>     
>  CAPTURE_NO_MEDIA_FILES = 3,
>     
>  CAPTURE_NOT_SUPPORTED = 20
> };
> Windows 8:
> only string errors
> Android and iOS have the same looking api on the native side, error callback Android returns JSON: {message: '', code: int}, iOS returns JSON: {message: '', status: int}, 
> Looking at the javascript api, it looks like it should return a 'new CaptureError()' on the errorCallback, is that the direction for 3.0?
> Windows only sends a string as the callback error, it's difficult to know if the user just cancelled taking a picture or what kind of specific error occurred.
> Should I look into creating a patch?
> This probably affects other apis, overall I'd like to see the CaptureError() returned more consistently instead of strings.
> It would make sense to improve this in 3.0 and possibly break BC for those expecting strings.
> CaptureError() could implement 'toString()' to mitigate potential issues.
