Same here. I also like the general lack of sound from far away when 
you see a ship doing things. The best is with the scenes of the 
Galactica when it FTL's into orbit around the Ragnar Anchorage (it's 
tiny in the background and then you zoom into see it) and then 
there's the scene where the Galactica exits the Ragnar Anchorage and 
yaw/pitches to bring all the main point defense into arc on the 
Cylons.

In general, I like the camera shots. I get the feeling that one is 
looking at a distant battle from view ports and cockpits and zooming 
in and panning with telephoto lenses. It seems more immersive. If 
only I had a massive HD TV to watch it on.
