i just downloaded the new version a couple of days ago and so far i have no huge issues except in the old version when i would swing my camera around it would go in a circle around my avi. in the new version it makes a wide, off-balance sweep (and I'm not sure i'm explaining this well). bottom line...is there any way i can set a control somewhere to change how my camera moves around me?

Exactly! No more ability to remove camera constraints. Or is there? How?

Alt control D to get your advanced menu. Then check "remove camera constraints".

On the oval spinning of the camera around your avatar.............I don't think there's anything you can do to work around it. Maybe write up a JIRA in the hopes LL fixes it in the next release.

The oval spinning round your avatar maybe due to a prim (tree, building etc) closeby, which using the cursor keys to rotate your view, will always move in when encountering (you have a safe zone of around 10% of your view distance, before it collides with objects).
Try the same thing using the Camera controler in the View Menu.
