A - I don't chimp in the field, but I do download to my laptop and copy to an external drive every day. I look at the pictures during that process, but I do not PP until I get home and copy them to my desktop's HD. I prefer my desktop's 27" high res monitor for PP.

A, although I should also say that I do not chimp very often. I do look at the histogram when I am not sure of the exposure.

I usually do not chimp either, unless there's a reason to check the histogram, or critical focus on a macro shot. Those are usually the only times when/ and if I do it! Also in situations were there is a lot of mixed lighting, I do check that my WB is appropriate, or needs some tweaking!

A. I am a pro of 59 years experience (just for reference). If I am shooting single shots of different and important subjects, I check each and every image just taken. I LIVE by the motto, "Better safe than sorry"! In a different situation: if I am shooting a subject with unchanging costume (Nude for example), and unchanging background, and with flash fill or flash for main with ambient for fill, and the sky doesn't change over a stop in brightness . . . I won't chimp, other than the first image. I follow this plan also when shooting in the studio- unless I change the lighting setup.

A because I download the same day, but I seldom look until after the download.

A or B answers do not fit. If I am doing things right I chimp on first two or three pictures. Check the histogram. Sometimes my ASA is to high for today's conditions.sometimes I want to adjust the exposure compensation. Occasionally I have the Sutter timer set to 2 - 10 seconds, I figure that out with out chimping. I review picture on my computer same or next day when I shot locally.

Just to be clear; if you are not on a cruise; you not only don't chimp EVER but you never even LOOK at anything you've shot before months or years go by. You have no idea if you've gotten a shot until months or years later.
Is that what you mean?

I always chimp - sometime 2-3 times in a session, sometimes every shot - it depends on what I’m shooting. The screen is right there - it’s a tool. Never chimping is like have a zoom lens and not using the zoom feature. You can do it, “zooming with your feet.” But that would be just dumb.
