A question about chimping

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

If you leave the JPEG settings at full resolution and normal  
defaults, approximately 8-12x will be close to 1:1 pixel resolution  
for checking sharpness.

Since I capture exclusively in RAW format, I set JPEG settings to  
minimum size, sharpening and contrast so that the histogram is as  
close to what the RAW data should show as possible. 8x and the  
preview JPEG is looking a bit blurred in this case.

So I rarely "chimp" at all ... I turn off auto-review. But I leave  
histogram and saturation blinkies running when I do digital preview  
for checking exposures intentionally.
