Hi,

I don't understand what's wrong with chimping.
I thought that this is the great advantage of digital, being able to 
check your shot right away and correct if nescecary.
Oke, if you're doing a wedding or trying to nail down the desicieve 
moment you should keep your eye on the vf. Otherwise I don't care and 
love the immediate feedback and getting the exposure spot on.

Cheers,

Michiel Fokkema
