I don't mind it, I've never had it accidentally switch on however I have my gear packed pretty solid whilst I'm on the move. I did however manage to flatten a set of batteries by leaving it on and packing it away since I had an old cap on it that forced the lens mount indicator LED to remain illuminated. In any case the switch being placed around the shutter release is sort of reminiscent of the lock on my other bodies, I'd probably forget to turn it off most of the time otherwise. As an aside my M7II body has a similar power switch around it's release however it's so recessed and stiff that it's nearly a two hand job to switch it on, I'd prefer it more like the MZ-S.
