We all like to make jokes on his behalf but he does presentation right sometimes and is able to catch good moments in the ring. One of the good examples of camera work I think are the Undertaker dive onto Shawn at Mania where he nearly hurt himself and the RKO to punk at Mania which was captured great.

I know it got some criticism, but the "shaky cam" stuff with The Shield did an excellent job of conveying chaos, I thought.

The Nexus debut where it seems like the typical heel-watching-his-rivals interference thing... Until we get that shot of Tarver lurking in the crowd, mask on. Then it becomes immediately obvious it's something different.

I think he does a good job with most of it. The only criticisms he seems to get (in regards to presentation) is the stupid zooming out to show the crowd during a promo and too much reliance on wrestlers facing the hard camera for moves and finishers since it looks stupid when a guys got a wrestler locked in for a move only for him to spin 90 degrees so he's facing the fight way.

The camera work during that Foley/Taker cage match was spot on perfect

People want something fresh and feel that if he hasn't reinvented himself with presentation by now he won't be the guy to do it.

I'm gonna be that guy and point out that Dunn is the director. He is not a camera man. He is responsible for selecting which of the shots we see,for making sure the ques for music, interviews, entrenches, run in's etc. are all shown the way he wants. Yes stylistically no camera person is going to last if the director does like the way they shoot. But Dunn is not the one running a camera.

I was listening to an episode of Austin's podcast a few weeks ago, and he said in his own words that he "never did that shit" because his job was to work the crowd and the camera operators' job to shoot the action. I completely agree with him. Also, I find it funny that Dunn is so insistent on guys working the hard camera, yet they'll regularly cut to ringside bullshit during matches and miss impactful moves in the ring.

I don't think there has been a single shot in wrestling that convoy's a wrestling character so perfectly than this.

Like it has been mentioned, it isn't him with the cameras, just choosing which camera to show... But, the shot on the stage at WM31 of Rollins sprinting onto the stage and down the ramp to cash in MITB was just pure money.

For me it completely detracted from what was going on in the ring. When a beat down is happening I don't want to be asking why the camera man is zooming in and out like it's an early-'90s techno music video. It doesn't even make sense. The cameraman isn't physically involved in what's going on, he's standing ten feet away, so why is he acting like he's filming during an earthquake?

Best Kevin Dunn camera work: As said, he doesn't shoot the camera.
So, I'd have to go with...those photos Dunn has of Vince McMahon with farm animals. The quality of those photos is on par with Ansel Adams.

Cameraman wasn't the best word to use but one I thought of immediately.
