You are talking about this weird big cube, right?

@Brecht Van Lommel (brecht), why can arbitrary objects be used as camera in the first place?

Setting lights as a camera can be useful sometimes if you want to see what the light is hitting. I have, however, never seen anyone use normal objects as a camera. It is indeed rather strange that we support this.

Yes, it's exactly that. It's useful to target an object quickly, think of a light or a reflector for bouncing light in shadow areas.

I see, feels like this functionality should be separate from setting an object as scene camera.

We could constrain this to only lights and cameras?

The "Set Active Object as Camera" operator could indeed refuse to work for anything but cameras and lights.
