US$500 Dyson toothbrush camera: The perfect street photography companion? You’ve got to be kidding me!
From brushing around the gum line to framing leading lines: how one photographer took an electric toothbrush on a photo walk
The Dyson CameraJet, a toothbrush equipped with a 100,000-pixel camera, has been tested by a photographer during a photo walk. The toothbrush's camera is housed beneath the brush head, and the resulting images are warped yet surprisingly clear given the high megapixel count. The images also exhibit a distinctive film-like quality, reminiscent of Lomography's Lomochrome Purple XR film.
While the $500 price tag may seem steep for a toothbrush, it is considered an entry-level cost for a modern camera. Interestingly, the brush heads are removable, effectively making the toothbrush an interchangeable-lens camera. For those not convinced by the toothbrush as a portable camera, the article suggests exploring other beginner-friendly cameras and tips for street photography.
