How would you feel about more camera angle options?

I love how we're given 2 camera angles to play with this time, however sometimes I wish we were able to walk around at the "ground level" angle and also the angles/zoom we can get with the camera. I'd also love a controllable bird's-eye view for terraforming behind trees without having to rely on the game doing it for you. What does everyone else think? Do you think there are design issues that prevented them from letting us do it?
 
I'd LOVE an overhead/bird's eye view. It can be so frustrating to not be able to see how things look from the air unless it happens to be in your flyover!

I usually go stand behind a tree and press X and it will make that tree disappear and you can see what's behind it (fossils, weeds, etc) but it still would be nice to be able to do that without cheating the system! More angles please!
 
I really wish there were diagonal shot options when on the outside. Even if it's quite limited, I'd still appreciate having that option.

But the best option I'd like to have is to be able to hide the camera UI.
 
When moving buildings, it would be nice to see behind the location. Before I started using custom designs to plan out where things were moving to, I definitely messed up placing the building depth-wise and ended up having to move the same building another two times. :/
 
Bird's eye view or even allowing us to zoom out more would be amazing. Sometimes I can't capture everything in an area in my photos :(
 
More camera options would be great, may sound weird but I think playing Animal Crossing in first person view would be really cool lol.
 
I would LOVE more camera angles! I am usually zoomed out all the way, I would love one where you can look straight down from above, or the birds eye view like when you are descending on the plane.
 
I really need the overhead view to be selectable all the time, not just when the game thinks I need it.
 
I'd like to have that top view option like how it is in New Leaf when you view or try to take a picture of your room. It exists here but there's that little cursor or square symbol that annoys me. You can't hide it entirely when taking a picture.

In addition to more camera angles, I would love if villagers would simply sit still for longer than 10 seconds 😅
Omg yes, I gave up trying to take pictures of me and my villagers since they always walk away within 3 seconds of me turning the camera on 😭
