I like being asked. My Canon A540 quite often rotates when it
shouldn't (pointing the camera down, as I often do when shooting
flowers or lizards, confuses its orientation sensor). The current
dialog, with its thumbnail preview and its option of "don't ask
me again", works very well (though as Sven says, it would
be nice to have an easier way of un-doing the "don't ask").
