I also love the three position on-off switch. I guess that really shows that ergonomics are very personal. Jordan Drake didn't seem to like either of those things. But then he is pretty much a video-centric guy. I'm approaching this camera from the point of view of a photographer, who pretty much ignores the video side of things.

I find it odd. I deeply dislike the three-position on-off switch exactly because I don't do video. If you're switching the camera on in a hurry you're very likely to flip the switch to video…

In your usage, why do you elect to power off vs allowing camera to power down based on the integrated timer?

I find myself turning the camera on when I start shooting and off when I get back home, but come from a mostly 90D (DSLR background), though I really cannot complain with my RP's battery usage either.  If I'm able to keep my more typical usage I suspect the three position power switch will be irrelevant.
