I've found that pros don't always look down on chimping. I first heard of
the term on the National Press Photographers Association mail list. The
concensus was, IIRC, that chimping was a necessity if you need to confirm
that you got the shor you need (extremely important for a press photog) but
excessive chimping of every shot, such as most amateurs do, was a waste of
battery power.
