I do it to look at the histogram. You can't really tell much about the image from the LCD anyhow. And besides, if my friends would catch me looking, they'd make fun of me! :lol:

everyone does it, most just lie about it.

How right you are, have a look at this.

Teehee

I do it all the time. Not like it really helps or anything, but it's exciting all the same!

I chimp to admire my handywork. I'm that good. :cool: j/k

I usually chimp to filter the obvious duds...I mean why waste the memory and upload time if I know I can get rid of it right away...

I check to make sure the horizon is level. I'd rather get the shot right than fixing it in PP

oh god, im a chimper run riot ! I need help. Its right to say though that some of the pics i dont like on the screen turn out great and visa versa.. The screen is not calibrated on my 5d either so it took me a while to figure out to use the histogram also as a necessity.
