Sorry didn't see this as I was away on vacation when it arrived and got lost 
in my backlog.

Yes, as Oleg suggests or make your own QEntity subclass that aggregates a 
QTransform and QCameraLens and give it the API you need. All the renderer 
looks for in a camera is a QCameraLens for the projection matrix and a 
transform for the view matrix.

If you'd like to see some more convenience API on QCamera itself then please 
file a JIRA with your suggestions.

Cheers,

Sean
