What is so bad about chimping?

knowing how the metering works in-camera means less chimping, but you gotta chimp to know how the metering works.

If you're not verifying exposure by checking the LCD every once in a while, you're a fool.

I chimp every so often. Im ok with it. I'd rather chimp and tweak there and then rather than get home and have a pile of crap pics I can't do anything with

In sports and events, heavy chimping may mean you may miss a shot. But looking at your shot to check exposure, composition, and setting is a smart thing to do.

In sports and events, heavy chimping also makes your job a whole lot easier when you've got to ingest, caption, and get it out on the wire/to your editor in a short amount of time. The more files you delete on camera, the less you'll have to sort through later.
