Another way to do this is to just drag the main camera object onto the player object in the hierarchy. Any object that is a "child" of another object will move when it's parent does, but can still move independently.

Nice little script for a 2d game, i'm contemplating if I should upload my advanced camera script here. (its big and comes in multiple parts (for triggers to control extra movement and stuff). but for 4 lines your script gets the job done for a 2d game.

Especially when you want your character to wobble for moving.
