A Street Photographer Took Dyson's $500 Camera Toothbrush on a Photo Walk — and the Lo-Fi Images Are Otherworldly
Dyson says the CameraJet uses a 100k-pixel camera and machine learning to target mouthwash, while early batches may have a component issue.
- Dyson launched the CameraJet electric toothbrush earlier this month, featuring a 100k-pixel macro camera and targeted mouthwash squirter. The $499.99 device marks the brand's first foray into oral care.
- Chief Engineer Jake Dyson spent six years developing the 'Gap Optical Targeting' system, an AI-powered camera that identifies tooth gaps and delivers a targeted conical mouthwash spray. The lengthy timeline ensured the device would "work perfectly" before launch.
- Users stream live dental feeds via the MyDyson app while brushing, enabling real-time gap targeting. Jake Dyson personally tested the device for three months, noting it "just blasts it out" when removing trapped food like raspberry seeds.
- Dyson confirmed that some early batches of the CameraJet experienced a component issue, causing shortages across the US, UK, and Australia. The company stated it is "isolating those batches" and supporting affected customers.
- Assuming supply issues resolve quickly, a second-generation version could launch around September 2027.5, according to analyst predictions. Dyson continues patenting technology to guard against copycats as production scales globally.
