A photographer has been wandering the streets with a new Dyson CameraJet toothbrush, attempting to take pictures with it. <\/p>\n

The $499 Dyson CameraJet has caused a stir since it was released earlier this month<\/a> as it follows the trend of everyday items<\/a> getting cameras installed on them. <\/p>\n

One creator, who goes by \u201call gear no skill\u201d<\/a> on Instagram, took the camera-equipped toothbrush for a street photo walk and put it through its paces. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s the running joke of \u2018dentists owning Leicas\u2019 in the photo community, so when I saw Dyson dropping the toothbrush with a camera, I knew it just had to be used for street photos,\u201d she tells PetaPixel. \u201cIt just makes sense.\u201d <\/p>\n

All gear no skill has previously colorized photos<\/a> taken with a Leica M10 Monochrom<\/a> and scanned thermal prints<\/a> with a 150-megapixel Phase One<\/a>. \u201cPhotography should be fun,\u201d she adds. <\/p>\n

The Dyson CameraJet has an endoscopic camera designed to capture images of teeth. All gear no skill calls the photos it takes in the real world \u201cstraight out weird.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe camera needs a lot of light, but also can\u2019t handle too much of it,\u201d she adds. \u201cIt\u2019s made for macro photography with a lot of fisheye distortion, but when taken outside it looks like an IR [infrared] camera. Of course, the resolution is not great, and colours and white balance are all over the place.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"AThe photographer says she got \u201cquite a few weird looks\u201d while out taking photos with a toothbrush. \"AUsing the app to take photos. <\/p>\n

Dyson says the device does not store images or video on the toothbrush or upload them to the cloud. So, the footage can only be viewed live on the app. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no recording option in the app, so I just took screenshots of the screen on my phone,\u201d she explains. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe app works really well, connects easily, and there\u2019s very little lag in the feed. It\u2019s rather funny that a toothbrush app delivers a better experience than some camera manufacturer\u2019s own apps\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n

Booted Off Reddit <\/p>\n

All gear no skill says the photos have generally been received \u201cvery positively\u201d as people enjoyed the strange photos and compared them to early 2020s genAI<\/a> results. <\/p>\n

But not everyone enjoyed it. Reddit moderators, not known for their tolerance<\/a> of tomfoolery, deleted her post shared to r\/streetphoto because it broke the \u201cstreet photography only\u201d rule. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve reached out to the mods explaining that I was using a toothbrush to take photos on the streets,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey reviewed the post and decided not to reinstate it because \u2018It is not street photography.\u2019 I am very hurt by their decision.\u201d <\/p>\n
