What does chimp mean? I am going to assume it means look at the image after you have taken and adjust?
If that is the case then A is my answer

The even bigger advantage is knowing one's equipment well enough to know what to expect without having to chimp.

Maybe, then there's the instant gratification that "Yes!", it turned out the way I wanted it to.

Yes, looking at the resultant image on the LCD after capturing it.

I have never heard of the expression to "chimp" a shot. I don't wish to go off topic, but would someone please explain?

In that case, always. I check for blinkies and adjust exposure accordingly.

I take different shots of the same thing on a regular basis. Most often a better 'composition' reveals itself when you can actually see 'it' in a rectangle rather than 'in place'. I also look at how the exposure differes as you move around.
I review the images (Downloaded) when I get home and delete the 'also ran's' whilst 'the intent' is still fresh in my mind. Two or three good shots on an outing is about par for what I want.

A, absolutely. It must be nice to be so confident that you have never made a mistake in changing light conditions or your camera is incapable of misreading the light situation. /s

Particularly at the beginning of a shoot. I chimp just to be sure I haven't forgotten to change some setting back after forgetting I changed it the other day.

Definitely A for me. I chimp occasionally and definitely up load the images to the PC for viewing on the same day. Even when I shoot film I would see my images the same day I took them. I love film but waiting to see the images I took isn't it. And neither was the unpredictable. I worked hard with film so that I would knew how the images will be when I took them.
