Bug Description

Camera takes/makes (records) photos/movies of you, screenshot makes photos of your screen and eidete records your screen.
Like you see we have common grounds on taking photos and recording movies.

Harvey's mockup is the perfect mockup for merging those three apps into a camera app.
The switcher at the top-right corner would switch between your screen mode and your webcam mode.

Advantages:
1) One app to maintain
2) Some functions could be reused in other modes
3) Due the switch, we can distinguish screenshots/screencasts/photos and movies which is useful for e.g. pantheon-photos Camera roll
4) The app would still be lightweight and simple to use.
However due providing more functions it's more likely to be used by more people

A Camera is not definitely not the same thing as a screenshot/screencasting app
