That's what I figure.
This is the first issue that I've had with this particular distributor, ever, so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Might have been like this woman that came out to the track - everytime she put the lens down [not pointed forward ready to shoot] she flicked it off with her thumb. I only noticed because she made a comment about waiting for her camera to be *ready* so often. I asked her why she even turned it off, she had been told it's "bad for it" to be on too long.

Then again, what the hell sort of camera did she have, that she had to wait for it to be 'ready'? Even with the Olympus dust-buster running at every power-up, my camera is ready before I can get it up to my eye. The only reason why it might be bad to leave it on would be if it was constantly powering the sensor, which could result in overheat. This is typically only a problem if the camera is left in live view (rear screen as a framing aid), for an extended period of time.

If she had something like a Canon 40D/50D, 5D MkII, or 7D, then the funny thing is that her camera starts up faster than mine. I never have to wait

I'm also convinced that a lot of Ebay vendors go around purchasing returned merchandise from big store chains, and put it on Ebay as "new". |

Colour me unimpressed with the "average person."

I think that's why many of us get along on this board... the love for the herd.
