Q: 5. How much more than camera can it hold? What does inside look like?

A: The inside of the bag is burnt orange with a tight black document pocket on one side. It comes with a velcro divider. With the HM170 in the bag there's about 3-4 inches of clearance in front of the camera, assuming you push the camera all the way to one side. There's probably 1-2 inches of clearance on the sides of the camera. These measurements were taken with the lens hood and microphone mounted. I would say there's enough room for the camera, power supply, a few batteries, and some small items but not much else.

Q: 9. Does the unit have optional manual iris control or is it auto iris only?

A: This camera doesn't have a dedicated button with 'A', 'S', and 'P' settings, but each of those modes can still be set; it's just a bit fiddly.Summary:To put the camera into 'A' (aperture-preferred mode), you will put the camera into all-manual mode, then set the shutter to auto, then set the gain to auto. This will leave you with manual control of the iris.Details:1. Put the camera in full-auto mode by pushing the FULL/AUTO button. Then push the same button again; this will clear everything, puttin all functions into full manual mode (except for focus, which is handled separately).2. Adjust the IRIS to your desired setting. Keep in mind that this may change as you zoom, because the maximum aperture is f1.2 only in the wide-angle range; it decreases to f3.5 pretty quickly as you zoom the lens, dropping to f2.0 about midway through the zoom range.3. Press and hold the SHUTTER button on the side of the camera; this puts the shutter into AUTO mode. The shutter speed indicator will disappear from the LCD screen.4. Set the GAIN to AUTO mode (AGC). This is the fiddly part. You must first set default values for the GAIN switch's L, M, and H positions. The camera default is L=0, M=3, and H=6, but I changed those to L=0, M=6, and H=AGC. So, flipping the external switch to 'H' then sets the gain to AUTO. I also put these settings into my FAVORITES menu for easy access.You can also set the upper limit for the gain. I've set mine to 18db, because anything above that is really noisy. So, in AGC mode, my camera won't go above 18db. If you're desperate to record that evening campfire scene, there's always the LOLUX button, which sets the gain to 30db.5. Exposure compensation. You can tweak the exposure settings by pressing and holding the AE LEVEL button until a white box appears on the LCD screen (AE +/-), then adjusting exposure up or down with the little arrow buttons located on the lower-left side of the camera, nearest the battery. Note that, in low light, this may not have any effect if your camera has already reduced the shutter speed to 1/30 and set the AGC to its maximum.If there's an easier way, I haven't found it. The key points are A) to set the defaults for GAIN, and B) to remember to turn FULL AUTO on and then off at the start. Also note that you can use this same approach to put the camera into 'S' (shutter-preferred) mode.

Q: 10. Does this have the option to burn timestamp into image for legal video purposes?

A: Yes it does.
