I'd really have to see the camera control in action to decide if I can work with a mouse up/down making the camera zoom in and out. The fact that camera look left/right is tied to the mouse, and the fact that it's nearly impossible to move the mouse only left/right and not forward/back when playing a game, there's going to be some unintentional zooming. That will get very annoying, very fast. It also takes away from the happy thoughts I had about the isometric, since a WASD control with a zoomed out camera doesn't work as well as the good ole point-and-click.
Will watch to see how this develops, and it's almost certainly not going to impact a purchase, but I'm feeling wary about the design now.
