M10M Always On - Like a Film Camera

Curious what others think.  I have spent several months using the M10-D and M10M with the power saving options off, so that the power is always on.  I got tired of using film and just pushing the shutter and missing a shot waiting for the sleeping M to wake up.

So, now I can carry and just press the shutter.  It does use up the battery and I find I need two batteries for the day.  But I've not encountered any other issues.

What does anyone else think?

When walking with the camera I cancel LV and review and just as you said, cancel all power saving. Battery last fine.

It also means you can see the framelines at any time, which are lit electronically. I miss the optical framelines from the M9 and earlier bodies.
