It's a simple concept, but I already lost a lot of time looking for the solution: changing the active (aka default or just render) camera in Blender. I just can't find any clue in the (context) menus or in the wikified Blender manual. Google directed me to this Blender survival guide in which the solution is concealed:
select the camera which you want to make active and press ctrl + numpad-0

One important thing to note is: the layer with the camera to activate has to be visible when using Ctrl + Numpad_0.
