Github user agrieve commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/23#issuecomment-47379219 Camera has a lot of technical debt and a lot of bugs in it. I think you'd actually be better off forking the plugin rather than extending it. Even better would be to re-write it and contribute it back! :) Either way, I don't think making the fields protected is a good ideas since they will very likely be refactored.
