I really like that effect, which I now realize is possibly what Derek was talking about as opposed to the camera work in general. The jumps forward are harsh, but it's interesting, different, and a cool way to convey how small these ships (Vipers, Raptors, etc.) are in comparison to space and some of the other giant ships surrounding them. Having the camera pan the space around a massive Cylon battlestar, then catch a Raptor, double back, and zoom in abruptly is pretty cool IMO. It's how you'd look if you were there.
