Camera objects are used to create and save views with specific parameters. The view for each camera object can be displayed in a separate window. Each new camera is assigned a name by default (Camera 1, Camera 2, etc.) but this name can be changed.
You can display the Camera toolbar by right-clicking in any toolbar area and selecting Camera. 
The difference between camera objects and saved views (see Saving Views) is that saved views do not open in separate windows, and do not include any additional parameters, such as render mode.
