Adding to that. My sugestion would have worked. But your sensitivity is like 500. Of course its going lightspeed. Set it higher by increments. And it will be fluid.

the type of movement you are asking for is whats used in the program in my signature "matix camera and lighting" - or thereabouts. :)

it uses a Matrix class to do everything you want.

A quaternion does the same thing, just is a bit harder to understand and not quite so general purpous. [smile]

Whenever you'll want to interpolate orientations (camera paths, skeletal animation...), you'll need quaternions.
BTW, you don't have to understand them, just grab a quaternion class and learn how to use it.
