POV Street Photography: First Look at the DJI Osmo Nano in Brighton

Two days ago I took the DJI Osmo Nano out onto the streets of Brighton for its first proper test — running it alongside my usual setup, the Sony A7 III with a 24mm lens. The idea was simple: capture the same walk two ways, one through stills, one through continuous POV video, and see what each format actually gives you that the other doesn't.

There's an old distinction in street photography between hunters and fishermen. Fishermen find a spot — a doorway, a corner, a patch of good light — and wait for the scene to arrive. Hunters keep moving, reading the street, closing distance on a moment before it disappears. I've always been a hunter. I don't work a scene; I'm constantly on the go, which is exactly why the Osmo Nano interested me — a camera that rolls continuously seemed like the obvious pairing for someone who never stops walking. What I hadn't expected was how differently the two approaches actually felt once I was out there: the A7 III still demanded the hunter's instinct, spot-and-strike, while the Nano just kept recording regardless of whether I'd found anything worth catching.
