I think maybe once, the first time I used the M-D. I've always turned auto-review off and have not built up a reflex of chimping with my digital cameras; I've also been switching back and forth between digital and film cameras quite a bit the past couple of years, so it's not been something I'm prone to doing out of habit.
With the M-P, I'm often looking at the LCD though to see what ISO and EC setting is current on the camera. I find with the M-D, I look at the ISO dial now and then and have used the EC setting a bit less—I use the meter, hold shutter release, frame, and release shutter technique more of the time. That's how I used to shoot with the Nikon F3 and FE2, because the EC setting was clumsy to work.
