Unfortunately the answer is not good: The animation playback mechanism in Acrobat 3D Version 7 and 8 and the Adobe Reader version 8.1 and earlier will ignore camera animations present in PDF files. The U3D geometry storage file format option does provide for camera animations and you can author them in the 3D toolkit, but Acrobat and the Reader will ignore them during playback.
