Yes, the left-right for cameras IS a general problem with video games.
I don't particularly mind which it is, but there are a lot of games that are inconsistent with it and don't let you change it. Thus, if you play a lot of games, you will end up playing games that require both.
As to the up/down, I maintain that the one true way is pull back ('down') to look up. For the simple reason that this is how airplane controls work. Imagine yourself (or a plane) standing on top of the stick, and pulling back makes you look up.
