Dan, have you tried just leaving your camera turned on all the time? That's what I do, and the battery life isn't noticeably impaired. It goes to sleep after a minute (by default) and sleep mode is pretty much as power-frugal as Power-Off. One touch on the shutter button and it comes awake, faster than Power-On.
I power it off only after I wrap up shooting, or to switch lenses or an SD card. On Wed, May 13, 2015 at 10:42 AM, Daniel J.
