Ability to choose render camera using batchfile/commandline

Hey guys. I'm currently rendering a scene in which I've got 6 or 7 cameras. In order to make a batch script that will render all of the camera views overnight, I have to save 7 versions of the scene, with a different cam selected each time. To be fair this doesnt take that long in this case, but in heavier scenes it could be one of those little things that'll just get you frustrated :)

So, my thought is, it'd be cool to have something along the lines of -cam:cameraview as a flag that we can use to define the render camera in a scene.

Cheers

I second this.

It would be very useful and would save time from opening studio selecting a different camera, saving mxs then render.
