    An explanation would be nice.
    What EXACTLY do you want to do as I cant quite figure with the 0 explanation you have given?
    Do you want;
    1) A First-Person-Controller style use the mouse to rotate the camera?
    2) Being able to drag the camera with the mouse?
    3) When the mouse reaches a side of the screen, move the camera in that direction?
    Explain please.

    Best way to move the camera to a mouse position is learning trigonometry, vectors and so on - starting from scratch...Or you could just use unity provided methods and save a lot of time - easy and bad way in my opinion.

    Depends what you're going for. Based on the title, MovePosition and Vector3.Lerp would be what I would do, but you probably want something different since I'm sure that's not exactly the kind of behavior you want.

    anything, I dont understand how to factor mousePosition.x or y since they both give you screen coordinates and all camera movement is done in world space not screen space. I am having trouble combining the two vectors.
