Unless the camera is at <0,0,0> any rotation will also move it. If the
camera is at <0,0,-10> and you rotate it by -30*x, it's now at
<0,-5,-8.66> and possibly under your ground. Personaly, I only rotate my
camera if I want to tilt it lateraly or turn it in an animation.
Using look_at is a good way to orient your camera. You place it where
you want and set the center point of it's field of vision. The direction
is also good but may be less intuitive to some, me included.
