No more wasted inside the bag images. That's what I do. My M6TTL was eating batteries like crazy. I didn't change how I was storing it, just made sure that before going in the bag, I left it uncocked. If that meant I needed to expose a frame, so be it. I've seen John's post showing that an uncocked camera can still have current through the battery terminals when the shutter button is depressed. <shrug> Maybe mine is quite joyous. :) In any event, my battery problems stopped being such a drain once I got in the habit of leaving the camera uncocked before putting it in the bag.
