scroll map through camera?

I really new to this 3D stuff. I''ve made a standard top-view RPG map with scrolling. It scrolls the map in the usual way that top-view map scroll, by having a x and y offset and when the offset is reached the map moves one pos to that direction. You prob know what im trying to describe. Well, as i''m doing this in 3D I wondered if I just can''t render the whole map and then just move the camera over the map? If so, how do I go about moving the camera? Thanks!
