And it drys cloths no better than the 30 year old dryer I bought for
$25.00 12 years ago, and fixed for less than $10. Replacing all of the
temperature sensors and door switch in less than two hours. (I ended up
giving it away 6 months ago as I had no place to store it).

It produces JPEG more Canon-like IMO and may (not sure) have its
exposure more Canon-like as well.
The shape is a bit different as well and the menu IMO is way better

If you chose to demonstrate your "flexibility" by wrapping your legs

being ignored. It's a bonanza for someone out there.
