Ok I really do not like the camera part of rendering. I can easily line up a good looking model without the camera but I keep realizing you need the camera to render into an image file. Is there anyway I can render without the camera and then download into a image?

6$\begingroup$ short answer is: no. You can render from the viewport, but that is a bit different and much more limited. $\endgroup$– DavidCommented Dec 2, 2015 at 0:02

2$\begingroup$ ....And there's the N toolbar > View > Lock Camera to View. Mine's on a shortcut. Then you can move the camera with your normal viewport controls. $\endgroup$– Robin Betts ♦Commented Apr 22, 2021 at 17:54

In some way, you can do this with:
3D Viewport ‣ View ‣ Viewport Render
but you have to keep in mind it won't be standard render. You will have to disable from rendering viewport overlays, like: floor, axis etc.
Examples:
Standard render:
Standard viewport render:
Viewport render without viewport overlays:

Technically you need a camera to render, however you could use viewport rendering as user1660210 mentioned, this however does not allow for you to save an image.

$\begingroup$ You can save a viewport render. On the render popup window, look on the menu options. $\endgroup$– NathanCommented Apr 23, 2021 at 0:34
