4.0 out of 5 stars 'Four Seasons'/ J.P.'s Greatest Hits Vol. .05, October 13, 2008
Length:: 6:01 Mins

You can do better...
You can do worse...
But you'll never get better,
Unless you rehearse.




(The resolution of my videos looks better on my Windows Media Player and from my Flip Video library, so what you see on your own PC will look even better than what it looks like here (off the Internet [e.g. Amazon or You Tube]).


I REALIZE MY 6:02 VIDEO IS LONG, SO FEEL FREE TO CLICK AND DRAG TO SPEED UP THE HIGHLIGHTS. This way everyone can make the sample as long as he or she wants. Enjoy! :>)

Flip Video is convenient, thrifty, and nifty.

***You can record and keep up to 60 minutes of video at one time, but once you save the videos to your computer, you can delete them off the camera to free up space.

On the "Flip" side, while you don't have to focus except to zoom in and out, there are a few times when a manual focus would yield a better picture. You won't hear me complain, though.

***This model requires AA batteries. (My camera model is not the Mino. The Mino looks just like this model except it is "thinner and smaller" than my Flip video camera, and the Mino can be charged up by a USB port. It is a little more expensive, but I'll bet the videos are just as good. :>)

This video contains a version of Vivaldi's "Autumn," from his 'Four Seasons,' featuring Itzhak Perlman, also available from Amazon. Vivaldi: The Four Seasons; Violin Concertos

Am I dreaming, or did this review post twice? Anyway, DITTO what I said in the other one. ;-)

Thanks, Betty. I realized I have a slightly different model than the original post. I trimmed it down a bit, added a bit more information, and made a distinction between the two. I appreciate it.

LOL I'm glad you could take an honest stand on that one. Otherwise, a happiness and natural beauty pervade the ominous dangers lurking in the background. How astute of you to pick that up, Wise Guy. :>)

Not bad JP. I am always fearful of buying new technology and getting shafted on the buy. I guess that's pre-buyer's remorse. As for your video, is the part right after the Hoosiers piece from Deliverance or Cold Mountain? >:)

OMG that's a fabulous video! All your movie-watching made you quite the cinematographer -- or is it the other way around? wonderful scenery, love the birds, the horse and carriage ... MORE! we want MORE!

I wouldn't be afraid of this camera, Jason, but LOL, it's in Idaho, so it's homegrown stuff all the way. LOL. Get one and have some fun!

Thanks, Linda, for the kind remarks. Even though I waited for a year to get all these videos, (The idea came to me last fall when I got this camera, and I'm not a patient person!) I enjoyed the process and editing. I feel encouraged by your comments. :>)

Ha ha! round 2!
Great work, JP.
Btw, if ever you decide to do a horror review this month please give me a holler. I'll be visiting your profile often but I don't want to be late (ya think)
ho-ror ho-ror ho-ror See what Jenny started LOL!

...And see what you finished. ;>) You're both so festive. I can't wait to see 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown'. I've only started to tap what this little camera can do. Oh, you knew that already... Maybe I can do something like Blair Witch...Maybe not. Thanks for the boost, Woopak!

What a great multimedia review! The video that you give us looks pretty good to me.
