I Brought the Wrong Camera to Oslo (On Purpose)
I picked up this camera for one simple reason: it looked like it would cause trouble.
Not real trouble. The good kind. The kind where nothing important is at stake, and everything feels lighter the second you step outside. This was never about image quality, sharpness, or whether it could survive a YouTube comparison chart. This was curiosity wearing sneakers.
So I brought it along for a walk with Kim from Photobreak, right into the heart of Oslo, circling the Opera House like two kids who had been given a camera and absolutely no rules.
No Specs, No Stress
Let’s clear the air early.
This is not a professional camera.
It is not a “daily driver.”
It is not even trying to be taken seriously.
The camera has quirks. It hesitates. It guesses. Sometimes it delivers something charming, sometimes something borderline ridiculous. You press the shutter, and there’s a tiny moment of suspense, like opening a mystery box you already paid for.
Shooting with it felt like lowering my shoulders by a good ten centimeters.
No pressure. No inner monologue about whether this frame “deserves” to exist. Just click, move, laugh, repeat.
Circling the Opera House, Chasing Nothing in Particular
We spent most of the walk around the Oslo Opera House. Tourists sliding around with phones held high. Locals moving through the space like it’s their backyard. Reflections everywhere. Lines everywhere. Moments constantly half-happening.
And instead of hunting for the perfect shot, we did something radical.
We shot random things.
Feet. Faces mid-expression. Awkward gestures. People half-hidden behind railings. Reflections that only worked because the camera wasn’t trying too hard. Stuff you’d normally skip while waiting for something “better.”
The camera didn’t care. So neither did we.
A Camera That Refuses to Impress
This camera doesn’t ask to be respected.
It doesn’t want to be tested.
It doesn’t want to be defended online.
It just wants to be used.
When it messes up, it does so openly. When it surprises you, it feels earned. There’s no illusion of control, and that’s where the fun sneaks in. It reminded me of shooting film for the first time, or borrowing a toy camera as a kid and feeling powerful just because you were allowed to press the button.
The imperfections weren’t problems to fix later. They were part of the story.
Laughing With the Camera
Kim and I laughed a lot on this walk. Not at missed focus or weird colors, but at the freedom of it all. When the camera did something strange, we shrugged. When it gave us something unexpected, we smiled and moved on.
There’s something quietly liberating about using a tool that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is.
No ambition.
No ego.
No need to prove anything.
Just moments passing by, and a small plastic witness is doing its best.
The Anti-Pro Camera Walk
I won’t use this camera for serious work.
I won’t compare it to my “real” cameras.
And I definitely won’t ask it to justify its existence.
But I will bring it with me.
On walks where the goal is simply to walk. On days when photography should feel playful again. On moments that matter only because they happened.
Sometimes you don’t need another perfect image.
You need a reminder of why pressing the shutter felt fun in the first place.
And this little camera?
It does exactly that.
If you want to have a camera just to shoot and have fun, then this camera is the right one for you.
