no FixedUpdate??

So we used the rotation update with the Quaternion on the OnFixedUpdate because the Frog its physical object and need to render at a different time right? so why we don't use the camera transform set as fixed update cos the camera is not a Rigidbody??

If you use OnFixedUpdate on the camera, it will only follow the frog on specific frames and it may cause the illusion of "lagg" within the game. You can try it, sometimes it depends on how you have everything set-up, but most of the time I go for Update for the camera so it doesn't lagg behind. And as you said, OnFixedUpdate works best for physics.
