I see what you mean. In this case, lets say you only want to see polygons.

Well you can go to the script editor (the little button on the bottom right of the command line). Under 'History' turn on, 'Echo All Commands'. Keep that window open. In the main menus go to Display >Hide All(this will affect all the cameras). Go back to the script editor and copy paste or highlight then middle mouse drag (doesnt matter) the 'HideAll;' line into the MEL input panel below. Back up to Display>Show>Show Geometry>Polygon Surfaces. In the Script Editor copy the 'hideShow -polySurfaces -show;' portion onto the second line of the Mel Input pane, highlight the new script and middle mouse drag that onto a shelf, give it a name. You might want to create a 'ToggleShowAll;' script and put that in your shelf also. If you only want it to affect a particular camera then you'd have to have that view active and use the info from "Show" instead of "Display".

I'm pretty sure there's a more efficient way of doing this if you know scripting.
