Nice tutorial. I don't think there's much more we can learn about cameras in HL2 now.

I've managed cycling cameras using only one logic_case and one math_counter - you don't need a math_counter for each camera.
Set the "OutValue" of the counter to the logic_case's InValue.

For camera effects, you can use different textures, see over here: <a href="http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/Cameras" target="_blank">http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/Cameras</a>
You can also make your own effect by creating shader effects in a texture's .vmt file, it looks very flexible.

I'd like to get a moving camera working, using point_viewcontrol... it never wants to move for me. Nice tutorial though, helped a lot.
