Yeah, it would respond indeed, but not with the "direct" response of going right

This has the advantage of being state-less: just by the current state of the keys, you can determine whether you need to move the camera. It doesn't depend on the order in which keys were pressed.
But it feels weird to not have the camera respond to the new user input...

You're designing the camera controls of a top-down strategy game; what should the camera do when the player presses the Right Arrow after having pressed the Left Arrow?
1) Keep going to the left
2) Stop
3) Start going to the right
