I'm new to DSLR's. Is it okay to keep the camera in there face down / lens down with the lens attached?

Absolutely. I have a T21 with an 18-135mm lense attached, and it fits in along with my external flash and extra battery. While I do like this and used it to fit into a large purse at times, I would also recommend purchasing a backpack for all of your equipment also.

I do not have a large camera, I have a Panasonic Lumix 5G and I do set it in there face down and have had no problems. My lens is not so long though that it's really resting on the bottom of the insert bag.

The strap secures to where you secure your tripod on the bottom of the camera and to the strap bracket that is normally on the top sides of the camera. So as long as your camera is equipped with these features then you shouldn't have any problem with this. Hope that helps.

Yes, you can wear the neck strap with the camera in the case open or closed. There is a snap on the bottom that will hang down and rotate so the cover doesn't get in the way of the lens.

My experience is that it fits lens-down but I don't feel that is a safe way to hold the camera. It could easily "flip out" when you open it. I kept it for a (pretty much unused) film camera. What I use is Lowepro Nova cases; I had one for my SX-10 for years and it has performed well, so I purchased one when I purchased an SX-40. Very protective, secure, and enough room for accessories.

Not well. There are two zippers on the bottom but they don't close well over a quick release. Also, be sure to have ONLY long lenses on the camera as the cover will not tighten over any shorter lenses.

yeah, i do carry mine in my pocket and the lens is closed. it wouldn't fit in my pocket otherwise. lens closed, dirt and lint can't get in. if i'm on the beach or somewhere that it may get dirty, it's in a plastic bag in my pocket.

I have not tried to put the camera with the longer lens in the bag. I find it a little snug with just the older 18-55 lens attached

I haven't had any issues with the case affecting my camera/pictures. The opening around the lens is angled away.

There a little wiggle room. Storing the lens with the hood reversed is no problem. There is room around the lens for some storage. You'll really like the "On Belt" feature.

I typically keep my long lens on my Nikon D5200 camera body, lens down in one section because I use it most often, and my 2 other lenses in their own sections. Sometimes when traveling I keep my macro in a separate protective sleeve in the same section as my wide angle. I use the 3rd section for wallet, etc. There are different option, since the dividers are velcro attached.

On the plus side, the lens is always protected. On the minus side, if you drop the camera and happen to chip the hardened glass lens cover, you're pretty much screwed. (This is the voice of experience talking).

Yes, you shouldn't have any problems. The adapter plate screws into the tripod mount on the bottom of your camera with a thumb screw. I always make sure mine is nice and snug before I hang it from the strap, but I have never had it loosen at all. There is also a nice clip on the strap so you can adjust how low the camera can swing when you have it hanging.

Not at all. There's plenty of space for the lens and LEDs. The back is cut out to give a little bit of room on all sides for the camera and flash.

I keep a couple of lenses in my bag. I keep a Tamron 24-70 2.8 on my camera nearly on all the time and it fits in the middle very nicely. I've posted a couple images with a ruler so you get a sense of size and capacity. Overall, I like the bag. However, it is not much good shifting it to the right shoulder. I wished there was a more universal solution. Left shoulder only! http://imgur.com/enE5F05 http://imgur.com/7FGRmKP Good luck!

no. so if that is your plan, use the neck strap and have the pouch off and hanging from the lens. I use my pouch for travel.

Yes it is, I just attached my Fujifilm s3pro to it (albeit without a lens) to verify; I would tilt the camera toward the single leg with the logo on it for balancing, and perhaps have the bracket (which has two pivot points) pointed upward to bring the camera closer to the tip of the tripod legs. That way it extends outward less. being a camera with a built-in grip it only sticks out about two inches past the long leg and is perfectly stable. I just stacked my Nikon FE with a 50mm 1.8, AND my 35mm 2.8 manual lenses on it and it's holding here on my desk just fine. :) so yes, two cameras and two lenses worth of weight, straight up, just fine. I recommend a cable or remote release in any case, but especially in this one (it is plastic after all). OR just use timed release if you have the patience and don't mind 2-5 seconds between shutter press and activation. You'll have to compose carefully or place the pod on a surface that let's you compose, but it will work. cheers!

I have used the phone's camera while in the case. Although it takes a little practice, I found that it's not extremely awkward, and as you said, I don't want to remove the case and risk dropping the phone.
