To be fair, you can't run while aiming in any of the console versions, so that's intentional. Not sure about the camera issues since I've never played it on PC.
But if you think RE4 has clunky controls, do yourself a favor and never play any of the previous games in the series.

I played them on the old play station and enjoyed them and the control style made since on the old pre-rendered games.
But since it has went 3D, they should have given the controls a little more freedom to reflect that.
I have no issues with having to stop to shoot, my issue is that you can't mouse look like you would think they would give you the option to after all this time. The mouse controls the camera and nothing else unless you are actually aiming.
Me and many others would prefer the option for a more modern control style that isn't so clunky for such a game.

I played it on PlayStation at a rental store when I was still able to use a controller properly, then on PC later. PC felt a lot more comfortable with the XCV button configuration.
Well, for RE1 and RE2. In RE3, the dodging was rather difficult with a keyboard.

I've only played the early games (not any of the remakes) on consoles. Not really a fan of the "human tank" setup but I found RE4 pretty tolerable.

RE4 was tolerable for the story and the level design. Not the stupid store and money grinding. Still, it was a so-so. Good game with dumb things forced into it.
I cannot find any saving grace in RE5/6. Not even the writing. (I never liked Wesker as an antagonist to begin with, the series didn't need a criminal mastermind Bond villain reject to be good.)
Have high hopes for Revelations though. Too many old-school RE fans recommend it to not try it.
Once I have upgraded my 5-yo rig. In 2017…

Don't have an Xbox360 or newer playstation controller.
I never bought any of the newer systems and much prefer mouse and keyboard for most games except racing and street fighter style games.
Oh well, question, how does the controls on Resident Evil 5 look?

All later REs ported to PC have better controls. RE4 was left as it is, terrible. Not Dark Souls terrible, but near there.
On the negative side, RE5/6 are quite bad compared to RE4 if you want a survival horror/Resident Evil game, not just a generic no-name zombie TPS.

I won't deny that, this game was ported to PC without PC in mind... it doesn't even have an "EXIT" button in the pause menu, you have to die to exit to the main menu and then exit the game.
RE1 port (the original) had better controls than this one

They are not "PC controls". They are mouse and keyboard controls for a game that was never intended to be played that way. PC controls are what you want them to be, that's the beauty of it!

Well, Resident Evil 4 is a great game with terrible controls. Then I get to resident evil 5 which has decent controls but lacks to feel of the old games which honestly takes away from the entertainment of it. And to be honest, I don't like having to work with partners in most of my games which kinda bugs me with 5.

I remember playing it a long time ago on the old Playstation 2, I understood the control setup back then. It was still fun despite the controls.
Finally got to try it on the PC, they have no way to change how the control works on it. I can live with not being able to run while you aim not a huge deal at all and ads a layer of difficulty to it that is reasonable, I just want the ability to mouse look and have my guy turn. Lets face it, if I am rotating my camera to the right, I kinda want my guy to turn with it.
Sucks when I have something on my screen and when I go to aim, I still have to rotate my guy to match the camera because he still aims the direction he is facing regardless of the direction the camera is facing. This is just added difficulty for the sake of difficultly. I understand keeping the clunky controls as the default for the sake of the original, but at least give us the option for something better.
Any mods they have for this? I am looking and can't find anything on it.
