The other part of the problem, having a camera orbit an object under
keyboard control, becomes a lot easier if you make a model (which can
be invisible) and make that the parent of the camera. The model would
be at the center of the scene, and so when you want the camera to
orbit you would just Y rotate the invisible model.

To zoom in and out you could either translate the camera position's
Z, which will move it closer or further away from the invisible
model, or you could change the fieldofview of the camera.
