Multiple sources reporting damage risk and additional power drain is convincing enough for me.

Did you read ChrisPhoto's post in this thread? Post Number 2.

Yes, did you read The Manual ?
Chris' results show 0-sec and 0-sec plus lagtime=short to be substantially the same.

If my camera cannot function properly without decreasing its lifespan or incurring additional power consumption, I consider that a problem.

I lost my manual. It's not much of a lot really since it didn't have much information in it.

I recall the manual mentioned lag time short reducing battery life, but I don't recall it mentioning other wear and tear issues. The only places I've seen wear-and-tear issues mentioned was in Internet forums.

I've never worn a camera out yet. They always go obsolete long before they wear out.
