I find it easier to do that way and it doesnt use much battery power. I findit similar to driving a car... the interstate is easier because (typically) its a constant speed, rather than the stop and go in town. By turning on and off your camera repeatedly I would think the switch is more bound to wear out. 5D4 | 50 1.4 | 85L II | 24-70L II | 70-200 2.8L IS II

I know this used to happen with my 55-200 (I soon figured out why, it was a c**p lens) and can easily happen with Push-Pull lenses like the 100-400 No, I don't think so. On my 70-300 IS lens, I can "lock" it so that it doesn't zoom (slide) in and out at all. -Canon EOS 40-D with vertical/battery grip, wireless remote shutter release

It is hard to describe...it feels like a "heavy" sliding of something back and forth. -Canon EOS 40-D with vertical/battery grip, wireless remote shutter release

As per my previous reply, I hope the sensor cleaning mechanism isn't that big (meaning heavy-feeling). -Canon EOS 40-D with vertical/battery grip, wireless remote shutter release

Does your chauffeur set up your tripod, configure your aperture and shutter speed, focus your camera, and all you do is press the shutter? -Canon EOS 40-D with vertical/battery grip, wireless remote shutter release

It is hard to describe...it feels like a "heavy" sliding of something back and forth. . they probably softened it up in the 40d. on the xt it's noticeable, on the mkiii it's not noticeable at all. it's exactly what i was talking about though I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

It turns out not to be the camera. When I take the lens off, this heaving "sliding" feel goes away. It comes back when I put my lens back on. It also happens with my other lens, and they are both Canon EF IS lenses. -Canon EOS 40-D with vertical/battery grip, wireless remote shutter release

Always let mine go to standby after 1 minute if I'm wandering about and only turn it off when I put it away
