Trải nghiệm nhanh Fujifilm X-T4: Có gì hay và đáng nâng cấp so với đời trước?

Với giá bán cao hơn 200 USD so với người tiền nhiệm (thời điểm ra mắt), liệu Fujifilm X-T4 có đáng để nâng cấp?

Fujifilm X-T4 là một trong hai máy ảnh được hãng này tung ra trong đợt nửa đầu năm nay. Cả hai sản phẩm đều có ngôn ngữ thiết kế và mục đích sử dụng khác nhau, nếu như X100V chuyên dành cho những người thích chụp đường phố (streetlife) và du lịch nhờ tính nhỏ gọn cùng lens dính liền thì X-T4 lại sinh ra cho những đối tượng có nhu cầu nhiếp ảnh rộng hơn. Vậy chiếc máy ảnh này có gì hay và đâu là những cải tiến gì đáng giá so với đời trước?

Hệ thống chống rung trong body (IBIS)

Một trong những thứ được mong chờ nhất cuối cùng cũng đã xuất hiện trên X-T4. Hệ thống chống rung 5 trục này từng được Fujifilm áp dụng trên X-H1 và cũng gây tranh cãi không ít khi khiến thân máy to ra đáng kể. Tuy nhiên với sự tái xuất lần này của IBIS trên X-T4, Fujifilm đã khiến tôi bất ngờ khi body máy vẫn “giữ dáng” khá tốt, gần như không chênh lệch quá nhiều so với đời trước.

Với IBIS, Fujifilm X-T4 sẽ khắc phục được những tình trạng nhòe mờ do rung tay khi chụp ở tốc độ màn trập thấp. Tất nhiên nó còn rất hữu dụng với những người dùng muốn quay video trên chiếc máy này và hiệu năng sẽ hơn hẳn so với X-T3, vốn không hề có bất cứ khả năng ổn định hình ảnh gì bên trong.

Cầm nặng tay hơn, nhưng không đáng kể

Cảm giác đầu tiên khi trên tay chiếc X-T4 là NẶNG, phần vì tôi quen với việc cầm X100V lần trước và quen với cái nhẹ nhàng ấy, phần vì do X-T4 mang trong mình IBIS cùng viên pin mới nên cũng nặng hơn chiếc X-T3 trước đây. Tuy nhiên nếu so về con số, phiên bản mới này chỉ tăng cân thêm 70 gr mà thôi.

Tuy nhiên, thứ tôi nhận ra tiếp theo lại khá mâu thuẫn, máy tuy nặng hơn nhưng cầm lại rất chắc tay và tôi bỗng dần quen với nó chỉ trong vòng vài phút. Lý giải cho việc này là vì Fujifilm đã thiết kế báng cầm phía trước được làm nhô ra nhiều hơn, nhờ vậy tạo độ bấu của các ngón tay sâu hơn, chắc hơn và vì thế cảm giác nặng của máy cũng dần vơi đi.

Thể loại ảnh mà tôi ưa thích là chụp đường phố và bạn biết đấy, tôi phải đi bộ rất nhiều để tìm bắt các khoảnh khắc. Chính vì vậy, thường tiêu chí lựa chọn “đồ hành nghề” của tôi những buổi đi chụp sẽ là càng nhẹ càng tốt, thậm chí có khi là cầm điện thoại để chụp. Tôi hoàn toàn không thoải mái với những chiếc máy ảnh quá cồng kềnh và nặng vì nó sẽ khiến cổ tay tôi mỏi nhừ, cảm hứng đi chụp cũng từ đó tắt đi nhanh chóng.

Và thật may mắn rằng X-T4 được cải thiện phần báng cầm, thậm chí khu vực đặt ngón cái cũng rất rộng rãi, không bị chèn phím như ở X100V nên mọi thứ đều ổn và tôi vẫn có thể đi dạo cả buổi chỉ với dây handstrap mà không cần đeo lên vai.

Giảm chú ý đáng kể khi chụp

Có hai lý do tôi chọn máy ảnh có màu tối: một là trông “ngầu” hơn và hai là đỡ gây chú ý hơn. Và ở Fujifilm X-T4 này, tôi còn nhận ra nó có một thứ khác khiến tôi thích mê: màn trập cực êm. Vì sao lại cần màn trập êm? Với một số thể loại ảnh chụp ẩm thực, chân dung hay kiến trúc, phong cảnh… có thể bạn sẽ không cần để tâm đến tiếng màn trập to hay nhỏ, nhưng một khi bạn đi chụp phố, chắc chắn màn trập có tiếng động nhỏ hơn sẽ là một lợi thế lớn.

Không phải ai cũng thoải mái khi ta chụp họ trên phố, đặc biệt là tiếng màn trập quá lớn sẽ khiến họ khó chịu hoặc phân tâm khi đang làm việc, cảm giác giống như đang bị chính người chụp làm phiền vậy. Thế nên, những lúc này màn trập càng êm sẽ càng đỡ gây bất lợi cho tôi và ít ra cũng khiến đối phương thoải mái hơn.

Lần đầu bấm máy, tiếng màn trập nhỏ và nhẹ đến mức mà tôi khó nhận ra được, nó khiến tôi liên tưởng đến màn trập của dòng máy Leica vậy. Cũng vì thế, tôi có thể đưa máy đến sát chủ thể chụp mà không gây ảnh hưởng đến họ.

Như hôm đi Lễ Phật Đản tại Đình Ôn Lăng (Q.5), người dân đến đây khá đông đúc nhưng không khí khá nghiêm trang và yên tĩnh. Sẽ rất phiền toái nếu bạn bấm máy liên tục ở nơi này mà màn trập cứ đánh tanh tách inh ỏi, vậy nên, X-T4 đã giúp tôi tự tin hơn rất nhiều trong những trường hợp này.

Với màn trập mới, X-T4 sẽ có độ bền cao hơn: 300.000 lần đánh so với X-T3 chỉ vào khoảng 200.000 lần.

Thao tác dễ dàng

Một điểm khác tôi rất thích trên X-T4 là gần như tất cả các phím chức năng cần thiết đều được “trưng” ra hết bên ngoài, khác với dòng X100 series vì ưu tiên nhỏ gọn nên phải rút bớt các phím vào trong.

Hai bánh răng chỉnh ISO và Shutter Speed có chốt khóa phía trên, đây là chi tiết nhỏ nhưng cũng mang đến trải nghiệm người dùng tốt hơn, tránh vô tình va phải trong lúc tác nghiệp khiến thông số bị thay đổi ngoài ý muốn.

Rất mừng là cuối cùng Fujifilm đã chịu trang bị khả năng xoay lật đa hướng cho màn hình của họ. Đó là thứ mà tôi mong chờ nhiều nhất, chứ không phải là cảm ứng trên màn hình. Với khả năng xoay lật tự do, người dùng có thể bố cục được nhiều góc khác nhau và cũng rất tiện lợi cho cả những ai thích quay phim.

Thêm một điểm nhỏ khác cho thấy hãng đánh mạnh vào trải nghiệm quay video trên chiếc X-T4 này là nút xoay phụ dưới bánh răng màn trập được đổi thành 2 chế độ Still và Movie, giúp người dùng có thể chuyển từ chụp ảnh sang quay phim nhanh chóng.

Lấy nét nhanh, nhận diện khuôn mặt tốt nhưng vẫn còn nhiều chế độ rối rắm khó chọn

Giống với X100V, tốc độ lấy nét và nhận diện khuôn mặt trên X-T4 cũng rất nhanh. Những hoạt cảnh tranh sáng tranh tối và chủ thể di chuyển liên tục vẫn được chiếc máy này “bắt” tốt nhờ kết hợp hệ thống lấy nét tương phản và pha (117 điểm hoặc 425 điểm nét tùy vào từng thiết lập của người dùng). 

Trải nghiệm nhanh Fujifilm X-T4: Có gì hay và đáng nâng cấp so với đời trước? - Ảnh 12.
Theo Fujifilm, tỉ lệ bám nét trên X-T4 đã cải thiện hơn nhiều so với X-T3, độ nhạy trong điều kiện thiếu sáng là -6 EV so với -3 EV trên X-T3.

Do đã rút kinh nghiệm từ đợt tìm hiểu X100V, tôi đã đỡ phần bối rối hơn khi dùng X-T4 này, tuy nhiên quan điểm cá nhân tôi thì giao diện và các chế độ của Fujifilm vẫn rất rối. Chính vì họ đưa vào quá nhiều lựa chọn cho người dùng để tùy biến nên những ai từ hệ máy khác sang hoặc người dùng không chuyên sẽ cảm thấy choáng ngợp ngay từ đầu và không biết làm gì ở bước tiếp theo.

Vậy nên, nếu muốn dùng tốt những sản phẩm này, bạn cần phải tìm hiểu rất nhiều hoặc hỏi từ những người đi trước để tìm ra settings phù hợp nhất cho style chụp của bản thân, không thì sẽ rất dễ “lạc lối” và kết quả ảnh nhận được khó mà ưng ý hoàn toàn.

Ngược lại, nhờ tính tùy biến nhiều nên Fujifilm có những thứ đặc sản mà các hãng khác không có

Cái hay của các dòng máy ảnh Fujifilm là cảm biến và vi xử lý ảnh của họ cho skin tone rất mượt, độ tương phản khá mềm mại nên chụp chân dung hay ẩm thực thì rất hợp. Bên cạnh đó người dùng cũng có thể can thiệp được nhiều vào phần tông màu, các kiểu ám màu phim như Chrome Effect (X-T4 có thêm Color Chrome Blue Effect)… nên càng khiến các tín đồ thích style retro lại mê hơn.

Có thể nói giả lập màu phim (Film Stimulation) là một trong những điểm bán hàng rất lớn của hãng này ngay từ thời gian đầu ra mắt đến nay, giúp người dùng có được những tông màu cổ điển giống những tấm ảnh phim ngày xưa.

Fujifilm đã rất khôn khéo khi qua từng đời máy lại tích hợp thêm màu mới để người dùng có thứ tiếp tục khám phá, và lần này là Eterna Bleach Bypass. Tuy nhiên theo cá nhân tôi thì màu này khá khó dùng, nó giả lập giống với quá trình xử lý phim nhựa ngày xưa mà trong đó lớp bạc tráng bên trên phim được giữ lại. Kết quả màu sắc sẽ bị giảm độ bão hòa, khá nhạt và không phải trường hợp nào cũng có thể áp dụng được, có lẽ quay phim sẽ phù hợp hơn.

Một trong những filter mà tôi thích dùng nhất trên chiếc máy này là Classic Negative hoặc Classic Chrome, đẩy EV xuống tầm -0.7 EV để ưu tiên tốc độ màn trập và đa số khi ảnh nhận về cũng không cần phải hậu kỳ gì nhiều.

Kết

Với giá bán cao hơn 200 USD so với người tiền nhiệm (thời điểm ra mắt), liệu Fujifilm X-T4 có đáng để nâng cấp? Đây không hẳn là chiếc máy ảnh mang đến nhiều công nghệ mới nhất, một số thứ X-T3 vẫn có và có thể dùng ổn cho đến thời điểm hiện tại, có chăng những người dùng cần IBIS hay màn hình xoay lật đa hướng sẽ tìm đến nó?

Trải nghiệm nhanh Fujifilm X-T4: Có gì hay và đáng nâng cấp so với đời trước? - Ảnh 15.

Nếu bạn không quá quan trọng mức giá, việc bỏ thêm đôi chút để có được những trải nghiệm tốt hơn từ chụp ảnh cho đến quay phim (nhờ IBIS và màn hình xoay lật) thì X-T4 vẫn đáng để đầu tư. Và tất nhiên ở mức giá này người dùng cũng sẽ đắn đo với nhiều sản phẩm khác trên thị trường, thậm chí là cả với chiếc X100V cùng nhà ra mắt cách đó không lâu.

Nhưng, cả hai đều có mục đích sử dụng riêng biệt. Fujifilm X-T4 không “kén cá chọn canh” như X100V về mặt tiêu cự, cũng không dị thường như X-Pro3, chiếc máy ảnh này có thể nói là “nhạc nào lên cũng nhảy” và ít nhất là có thể thay đổi ống kính tùy thuộc vào từng thể loại ảnh khác nhau.

Riêng tôi, X-T4 có thể trở thành chiếc camera APS-C tốt nhất thời điểm hiện tại, với điều kiện Fujifilm đầu tư hơn nữa và đưa thêm vào những tính năng mới, lúc đó nó sẽ hấp dẫn và đáng nâng cấp hơn. Tôi biết rằng Fujifilm có thể làm tốt hơn thế, nhưng có lẽ họ muốn giữ lại “nhỏ giọt” cho những dòng sản phẩm sau, âu cũng là điều hơi đáng tiếc.

Real-life examples of shopping bots

Shoppers can browse a brand’s products, get product recommendations, ask questions, make purchases and checkout, and get automatic shipping updates all through Facebook Messenger. Many brands and retailers have turned to shopping bots to enhance various stages of the customer journey. Sadly, a shopping bot isn’t a robot you can send out to do your shopping for you. But for now, a shopping bot is an artificial intelligence (AI) that completes specific tasks. With shopping bots, customers can make purchases with minimal time and effort, enhancing the overall shopping experience.

But when bots target these margin-negative products, the customer acquisition goals of flash sales go unmet. All you achieve is low-to-negative margin sales without any of the benefits. The lifetime value of the grinch bot is not as valuable as a satisfied customer who regularly returns to buy additional products. First, you miss a chance to create a connection with a valuable customer. Hyped product launches can be a fantastic way to reward loyal customers and bring new customers into the fold. Shopping bots sever the relationship between your potential customers and your brand.

Additionally, these bots can be integrated with user accounts, allowing them to store preferences, sizes, and even payment details securely. This results in a faster checkout process, as the bot can auto-fill necessary details, reducing the hassle of manual data entry. By analyzing a user’s browsing history, past purchases, and even search queries, these bots can create a detailed profile of the user’s preferences. This round-the-clock availability ensures that customers always feel supported and valued, elevating their overall shopping experience. Gone are the days of scrolling endlessly through pages of products; these bots curate a personalized shopping list in an instant.

This is where shoppers will typically ask questions, read online reviews, view what the experience will look like, and ask further questions. They too use a shopping bot on their website that takes the user through every step of the customer journey. They can add items to carts, fill in shipping details, and even complete purchases, often used for high-demand items. However, for those who prioritize a seamless building experience and crave more integrations, ShoppingBotAI might just be your next best friend in the shopping bot realm.

In this blog post, we will take a look at the five best shopping bots for online shopping. We will discuss the features of each bot, as well as the pros and cons of using them. The bot can offer product recommendations based on past purchases, wishlists, or even items left in the cart during a previous visit. Such proactive suggestions significantly reduce the time users spend browsing. Shopping bots, often referred to as retail bots or order bots, are software tools designed to automate the online shopping process.

Probably the most well-known type of ecommerce bot, scalping bots use unfair methods to get limited-availability and/or preferred goods or services. Shopping bots enabled by voice and text interfaces make online purchasing much more accessible. This leads to quick and accurate resolution of customer queries, contributing to a superior customer experience. Shopping bots have an edge over traditional retailers when it comes to customer interaction and problem resolution. One of the major advantages of bots over traditional retailers lies in the personalization they offer. The retail industry, characterized by stiff competition, dynamic demands, and a never-ending array of products, appears to be an ideal ground for bots to prove their mettle.

Time is of the essence, and shopping bots ensure users save both time and effort, making purchases a breeze. By analyzing search queries, past purchase history, and even browsing patterns, shopping bots can curate a list of products that align closely with what the user is seeking.

They want their questions answered quickly, they want personalized product recommendations, and once they purchase, they want to know when their products will arrive. This bot for buying online helps businesses automate their services and create a personalized experience for customers. The system uses AI technology and handles questions it has been trained on.

They are designed to make the checkout process as smooth and intuitive as possible. Shopping bots streamline the checkout process, ensuring users complete their purchases without any hiccups.

As AI and machine learning technologies continue to evolve, shopping bots are becoming even more adept at understanding the nuances of user behavior.

BIK is a customer conversation platform that helps businesses automate and personalize customer interactions across all channels, including Instagram and WhatsApp.

You can create bots for Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and Skype, or build stand-alone apps through Microsoft’s open sourced Azure services and Bot Framework. Inspired by Yellow Pages, this bot offers purchasing interactions for everything from movie and airplane tickets to eCommerce and mobile recharges. You can also collect feedback from your customers by letting them rate their experience and share their opinions with your team. This will show you how effective the bots are and how satisfied your visitors are with them.

This means fewer steps to complete a purchase, reducing the chances of cart abandonment. They can also scout for the best shipping options, ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery. Furthermore, with the rise of conversational commerce, many of the best shopping bots in 2023 are now equipped with chatbot functionalities. This allows users to interact with them in real-time, asking questions, seeking advice, or even getting styling tips for fashion products. Mindsay believes that shopping bots can help reduce response times and support costs while improving customer engagement and satisfaction.

How Do Customers and Merchants Benefit from Online Shopping Bots

This enables the bots to adapt and refine their recommendations in real-time, ensuring they remain relevant and engaging. Moreover, these bots are available 24/7, ensuring that user queries are addressed anytime, anywhere. Shopping bots ensure a hassle-free purchase journey by automating tasks and providing instant solutions. This level of precision ensures that users are always matched with products that are not only relevant but also of high quality. Moreover, these bots are not just about finding a product; they’re about finding the right product. They take into account user reviews, product ratings, and even current market trends to ensure that every recommendation is top-notch.

You can create a standalone survey, or you can collect feedback in small doses during customer interactions. Most recommendations it gave me were very solid in the category and definitely among the cheapest compared to similar products. Although it only gave 2-3 products at a time, I am sure you’ll appreciate the clutter-free recommendations. Latercase, the maker of slim phone cases, looked for a self-service platform that offered flexibility and customization, allowing it to build its own solutions. Shopping bots enable brands to drive a wide range of valuable use cases.

In the cat-and-mouse game of bot mitigation, your playbook can’t be based on last week’s attack. As you’ve seen, bots come in all shapes and sizes, and reselling is a very lucrative business. For every bot mitigation solution implemented, there are bot developers across the world working on ways to circumvent it. 45% of online businesses said bot attacks resulted in more website and IT crashes in 2022.

Instead of spending hours browsing through countless websites, these bots research, compare, and provide the best product options within seconds. This not only fosters a deeper connection between the brand and the consumer but also ensures that shopping online is as interactive and engaging as walking into a physical store. This lets eCommerce brands give their bot personality and adds authenticity to conversational commerce. BargainBot seeks to replace the old boring way of offering discounts by allowing customers to haggle the price. The bot can strike deals with customers before allowing them to proceed to checkout.

In-store merchants, on the other hand, can leverage shopping bots in their digital platforms to drive foot traffic to their physical locations. One of the standout features of shopping bots is their ability to provide tailored product suggestions. In 2023, as the e-commerce landscape becomes more saturated with countless products and brands, the role of the best shopping bots has never been more crucial.

You don’t have to tell it anything, just choose a category and then a product and the AI will start asking questions to find the right item. Shop.app AI by Shopify https://chat.openai.com/ has a chat panel on the right side and a shopping panel on the left. You can write your queries in the chat, and it will show results in the left panel.

For online merchants, this means a significant reduction in bounce rates. When customers find relevant products quickly, they’re more likely to stay on the site and complete a purchase. Navigating the e-commerce world without guidance can often feel like an endless voyage. With a plethora of choices at their fingertips, customers can easily get overwhelmed, leading to decision fatigue or, worse, abandoning their shopping journey altogether. They crave a shopping experience that feels unique to them, one where the products and deals presented align perfectly with their tastes and needs.

Chatbots also cater to consumers’ need for instant gratification and answers, whether stores use them to provide 24/7 customer support or advertise flash sales. This constant availability builds customer trust and increases eCommerce conversion rates. Jenny provides self-service chatbots intending to ensure that businesses serve all their customers, not just a select few. The no-code chatbot may be used as a standalone solution or alongside live chat applications such as Zendesk, Facebook Messenger, SpanEngage, among others. Verloop is a conversational AI platform that strives to replicate the in-store assistance experience across digital channels. Users can access various features like multiple intent recognition, proactive communications, and personalized messaging.

They streamline operations, enhance customer journeys, and contribute to your bottom line. Online customers usually expect immediate responses to their inquiries. However, it’s humanly impossible to provide round-the-clock assistance. You can foun additiona information about ai customer service and artificial intelligence and NLP. While physical stores give the freedom to ‘try before you buy,’ online shopping misses out on this personal touch. One of the significant benefits that shopping bots contribute is facilitating a fast and easy checkout process.

You don’t want to miss out on this broad audience segment by having a shopping bot that misbehaves on smaller screens or struggles to integrate with mobile interfaces. This shift is due to a number of benefits that these bots bring to the table for merchants, both online and in-store. The customer’s ability to interact with products is a key factor that marks the difference between online and brick-and-mortar shopping. When a customer lands at the checkout stage, the bot readily fills in the necessary details, removing the need for manual data input every time you’re concluding a purchase. This vital consumer insight allows businesses to make informed decisions and improve their product offerings and services continually. Ranging from clothing to furniture, this bot provides recommendations for almost all retail products.

Whether an intentional DDoS attack or a byproduct of massive bot traffic, website crashes and slowdowns are terrible for any retailer. They lose you sales, shake the trust of your customers, and expose your systems to security breaches. So it’s not difficult to see how they overwhelm web application infrastructure, leading to site crashes and slowdowns.

Theo thông tin của rất nhiều khách hàng không may sử dụng dịch vụ của công ty tài chính COMB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB, thì họ liên tục bị điện thoại khủng bố người nhà và cả bạn bè trên Facebook, mặc dù khoản vay chưa đến hạn thanh toán. Ví dụ bạn có khoản vay 20 phải đóng hàng tháng thì từ ngày 10 đến ngày 20 bạn sẽ liên tục bị gọi điện ngày 2-3 cuộc nhắc nợ, nếu khách hàng cảm thấy phiền không nghe thì họ sẽ tìm thông tin của bạn bè người thân trên facebook rồi gọi điện làm phiền. Theo như nhiều người sử dụng các dịch vụ tài chính thì chưa có dịch vụ tài chính nào có kiểu nhắc nợ bỉ ổi như công ty tài chính ComB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB. Các công ty tài chính chỉ gọi điện nhắc nợ nhiều lần khi khách hàng đã quá ngày thanh toán mà chưa hoàn thành còn trước đó họ chỉ gọi 1 cuộc để nhắc nhở khách hàng mà thôi. Co những khách hàng lịch sử trả nợ rất tốt, chưa bao giờ bị quá hạn vẫn bị khủng bố như thường.
