the combat in ME2 is miles ahead of the first one. i like actually having each weapon be useful, instead of a pistol being the most powerful gun in the game. and the cover system works so much better (and you have to use it, unlike ME1 where even on insanity i could just run in guns blazing and hardly take a hit). it also doesn't make sense to put an emphasis on gun damage, a full biotic shoudn't need to rely on weapons to kill enemies
the zooming issues you're encountering i think are due to the cover system, i notice it when i'm covered behind a small box it will flip between corner cover and over the top, which screws up my zoom. behind a door way or long cover spot i don't notice any zoom issues at all. i will agree with you on the squad powers though, don't know why they are scanhit when yours aren't. the AI pathing is also better in ME1, don't know why your squad can be such idiots in this game
overall though any issues i've encountered have felt very minor. ME2 improves upon the original in almost every way, strips a lot of the boring fluff from the first game and tightens the story up. it is honestly one of the best single player games i've ever played, they really should turn Mass Effect into an MMO because that universe is much too large and interesting to be limited to a simple trilogy
