I have 0 complains on camera, you can rotate it using the shoulder buttons.

Hmmm, why do you want to skip cutscenes? Have you seen any of the cutscenes on youtube? I rather sit and watch it twice.

as for "stealth" mission. I failed at that horribly, but you only have to do it once for bonus items and I really didn't give a damn.

I'll quote what IGN said. It's the same thing I feel:

"What I found truly puzzling was the player's inability to skip cutscenes. Even the long ones. You can pause at any time which is helpful if you're interrupted while playing, but there's no way to skip past something. This can be a particular annoyance when you die right after a long series of scenes and are forced to watch them over"

It will be annoying if I die and then I have to sit through the long cutscenes. It will be even worse if I die 3 or more times and have to see that same scene over and over again. I haven't seen any of the cutscenes, just gameplay footage. I don't want to spoil the game.

now.. I'm by no mean an expert player. Frankly, I haven't really figure out the whole magic of mixing your own materia. But I've NEVER died after a cutscene.

Not because i'm lucky, but most of the cutscenes don't end with you battling anybody. And the mosters in that game aren't as vicious as DMC to begin with.
