Camera control is a named feature on the model's own tag list here, not a generic "cinematic" style claim: the 7 models below are the video generators whose features explicitly say so.
It is a different capability from motion control a few rankings down, which puppeteers a subject from a driving video rather than directing the shot itself — the two published model sets do not overlap.
Ranking method
