We live in a world that is increasingly automated and detached from personal interaction. Personally, I am not against the merits of efficiency. However, I do value the personal touch. Recently I stayed in a LaQuinta Hotel. I am a notoriously light sleeper, and pillows are a critical component of my rest.

H4X-screengrab

Update: the body has been released. Hasselblad is requiring the trade-in of an H1 or H2 body to receive an H4X. Individuals cannot purchase an H4X (even as a backup to an H4X) without such a trade-in. In addition the H4X is not comaptible with any of Hasselblad’s own digital backs and the H4D will remain closed. This is not the announcement many photographers were hoping for.
