Please don't remove "Camera Transition Time" & "Camera Smoothing" in 1.23. As it is now with the current release candidate. Or atleast leave it in the advanced menu or something :) Please

There are debug settings for them still, haven't really dug in to see if they still do much:

Transition time from the old prefs is DynamicCameraStrength
Smoothing is ZoomTime

From: someone

JIRA VWR-13120 :: Camera > Please add (return) method of adjusting camera physics.

While SL can be used for everyday "communications": business meetings, friends hanging out, romantic encounters and more; many many people use Second life for machinema creation, for filming presentations, and many more just use it to build stuff.

Camera behaviour is important. It's very important to the perception of lag, to experiences of vertigo, etc. If a camera moves too slowly for one person, they can begin to feel that "SL is too slow" likewise if the camera moves to quickly for others, or too fluidly (or not fluidly enough) it can trigger sensations of vertigo or motion sickness. Slow smooth movements are great for machinema, but are lousy when you're building or driving a car.

The best idea then, is to provide controls so that the end user can adjust these settings to their own personal preferences. Ever since Windlight was released, SL has provided me with handy controls that allowed ME to choose my own camera preferences.. setting it to zippy-quick for building, and smooth and slow when filming a tutorial.

1.23.RC0 removed these settings from the Edit > Preferences > Input & Camera settings panel.

Please put them back. Thank you.
