Description
### What Happened?
Since #219 and #220 follow-up, we've fixed camera availability and performance on a number of models. However, as a result, Camera once again defaults both the preview and capture to the highest-possible resolution, which on certain hardware (like my Logitech C920) is actually a very low framerate mode seemingly only intended for still photos.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Plug in a Logitech C920
2. Open Camera (from `master`)
3. See the default framerate
### Expected Behavior
Camera should _ideally_ default to a higher framerate; perhaps we can select something like the highest resolution with at least 24fps? And/or for hardware compatibility, we may want to consider exposing available resolutions and framerates to enable the user to override the default depending on their hardware (like #224).
### OS Version
