I agree abput turning off camera to change lenses. With the earely CCD cameras they remained charged and invited dust to settle. So this routine has stayed with me.

I think that this is an important item to remember. Nikon have always said ever since the introduction of AF that the camera should be switched off when changing lenses.
A parallel to this would be moving your mains powered desktop between rooms you need to unplug it. Now you could just pull the plug with the computer in full editing of an i age and see what happens. Yes because the OS and the applications now are pretty clever when you plug it in again it will restart and frequently it will restart the application butwjether or not you get your image back in its final edited state or in its original form is not guaranteed.
Camera lenses are electical addtions to the (mobile computer) camera so we need to take a little extra care these days. I know that frequently we get away with it but....... not always!
