Lots of good points so far. One thing that always gets me is when the person shooting doesn't take the time to make sure that the lens is clean before the shoot. You spend all this money on the equipment, model(s), location, etc... and you can't even spend 10 seconds before the shoot to clean the lens. I have one of those lens pens that cost about $10 and always go over the lens with it before a shoot because there's nothing more frustrating than putting all this effort into a shoot and then seeing all these smudges or smears on the footage.
Cleaning the lenses of all cameras should be a given before every shoot in my opinion. Shooters should just do it automatically without even thinking about it.... like breathing.
