Yes.

Spring engine has natively 4 additional cameras that you can use, most support rotation and shit.

Plus ZK also provides some widgetry called 'COFC', which does that too.

Just mash the F5-F12 keys until you hit something. Some of them change camera, so if you don't crash before, you'll get something :P

Or try searching in zk ingame menu.

For rotating etc.. press F11 and enable "Combo Overhead/Free Camera (experimental)".

The default camera actually tripped me out. Mouse at top/bottom of screen

move forward/backward, mouse at sides of screen

turn... And both at an awfully slow rate. Luckily, my first dive into the millions of settings left me with a usable camera...

The best UI exists for the COFC camera if you want to be able to rotate and look at anything. But the other cameras could be better for some other things.

rule of thumb I would go with: if you don't really like the TA camera: use the COFC one and customize it till you do like it.

I don't think any of the other cameras actually work anymore.

on one of the loadscreens you can see some camera controls, for example Ctrl + Mousewheel -> Tilt World and Ctrl + Middlebutton drag -> rotate world

That is not the default camera. It might be the camera you get after disabling COFC widget, but it is not default.
What you mean is either "total war" camera or "smooth camera" and indeed both are terrible. Maybe some players mistake that mode for default and thus prefer COFC over "default"?

Default is a slightly angled topdown view, scroll by screen edges or with arrowkeys or middle mouseclick. You get it by "ctrl+f2 = Overhead View", see the link I posted.

I started the game for the first time in the sandbox mission and had this camera. So no, it was not me doing any settings. In fact, this was the reason for me to first dig through the settings in order to find some better camera controls.
