Will Chimping now finally gain some respect around here? 
Cheers!

A couple of weeks back, I got a small job taking a little over 200 pictures of some older German toy trains and because I was working with longer exposures, shooting at f/32 with my ef100 macro, I was frequently reviewing my shots to ensure that no camera shake blur was compromising the shots and doing so by zooming in all the way on the screen and checking for sharpness. Is that considered chimping or am I mixing up the term with something else? Cheers!  I have no idea. But maybe looking at the screen when on a shoot is what I would call chimping. moew!!!!!

Hell, you've got a joystick and all the buttons you'd need to shoot and jump.

I've never done any tethered shooting with my 5D to date and I'm sure if I did in this instance, the client would have expected immediate finished results on-site which would have kept me there hours longer to do PP on my laptop of which I don't trust the screen to do critical work on. Beside, dragging my kit around was enough stuff to carry!

So, if all that's true, will this new he-res screen only add to this phenomenon?
