Personally, I feel that your health amount usually allows you a chance to fight back once ambushed - as opposed to say, Killzone 2 where you're pretty much dead instantly if blindsided or even shot at. Admittedly the life amount would take some getting used to if you're comparing it to TF2 but all and all I find it to be about right. I myself don't have any issue with the camera but Oro's right - you do get used to it. Maybe it's harder for you because of all the time you spend with PC FPS. I mean, I played Bioshock last night and kept trying to jump with the X button (ala UC2) - if I'm having trouble with something that simple it seems logical that you'd struggle going PC to console. All of which bodes poorly for my eventual PC TF2 purchase... It’s funny to hear your feelings on the number of shots you can take since that’s actually one of the things I love about UC2.

You shouldn't fret so much, both Wind and I had the same problems when we first started. I find that if you shoot without aiming when running, there's a tiny bit of auto aim.
