With the advent of 3", 920K viewscreens...

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

Hmmmm... well, it certainly wouldn't lessen the act of "chimping"

I suppose I'm as guilty of chimping as anyone
Luke:p

If the image you see is still a crappy JPG of a 21mp RAW, I dont think its going to matter

Well, the idea I was forming in my mind was that with the newer high res screen fully zoomed in, you'd actually be looking at a fairy accurate representation of what's there and now have a real tool for checking focus instead of just gawking at a "crappy jpeg".

This new screen might give chimpers everywhere some new found respect?!

Cheers!

they need to improve the small JPEG they display before LCDs make a lot of difference

bah! bugger chimping... i can watch divx downloads on the plane now instead of on my epson p5000

oh maybe not - ill probably need that p5000 to save those 21MP shots from the 5d2

It is a great tool to ease the minds of clients and to make them feel better.. After I get as shot I know will be a keeper I show it to them, especially for women. I say look how great you or that looks and the rest of the shoot always goes better. So you purists who don't like it can tape over the back.
