Camera Selfie Button [duplicate]

Add a button to the camera viewfinder screen to enable quick switching to the selfie setting (Front camera).
As a further step the button could also act as a selfie shutter delay release of 2 seconds to allow you to get you fingers away from the front camera.
Selfies are a popular photo to take and are often spontaneous and so to get to the function quickly, when you have managed to grab a celebrity for example, would be a great feature.
Did you know you can use the volume buttons as the shutter button in the camera application? That should make it possible for you to snap the selfie without touching the screen.

I want this to be a popular phone not just an open source one. If Sailfish will not respond to social trends it will be out of touch. The only thing new about selfies is the name, most phones had a small mirror next to the lens, for taking self portraits well before front camera became the norm.
