Trying to get the Lumia Denim camera on Nokia Icon with Windows 10

[Windows Central Question]

Here is situation, I ordered two Verizon Lumia Icons for myself and my cousin. The first one that I received was a white version (my cousin's phone). After starting it up it updated to Lumia Denim a few hours later. A few days later it manually updated it to Windows 10.

Later that week, the second phone which is black arrived. That phone completely skipped the Denim update and went straight to Windows 10. The problem is that I wanted the Denim camera which has Rich Capture, etc... I tried downloading the Lumia camera directly from the App Store, but it does not have those features.

I have searched high and low trying to figure out if I could sideload the camera like on my Android daily driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah the Lumia camera only actually works on Denim. Unfortunately even if you was able to download it, it would redirect you to Microsoft Camera.

the other route I would suggest is going back to windows 8.1 using windows device recovery tool, updating to denim, then downloading lumia camera beta and then upgrading to 10. Lumia camera beta should still work on W10M
