Hit F9 3 or more times. Insert/Delete to pan in the Z-axis, CTRL+Page Up/Down to tilt the camera, and your left mouse to turn the camera without turning your character. I started in Kunark, but as far as I know Everquest has always had these camera angles.
Default: 1st person, scroll wheel for behind the back view.
F9 1x: Top-down view, CTRL + Page Up/Down to tilt camera
F9 2x: My preferred view. 3rd person behind the back. You can zoom out as well with all the camera buttons, you just cannot turn camera without turning character.
F9 3x/4x: Two similar views of your character in 3rd person where the character and camera movement are unsynced (you can turn character without turning camera, and visa versa, but translation of character (strafing, moving) will also move the camera by that amount).
As far as I know, all of these camera views have always been possible (again with the caveat that I started just after Kunark release on Live).
