Camera Gear of the Rich and Famous

Marc Benioff, CEO, Salesforce.com at the Harvard Business School Awards
Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff started chatting with me about camera gear tonight and I found out he has a 1Ds which seems to be the camera of choice of the well heeled. A top Democratic official I spoke with at a political event also shared that he too had a 1Ds although he didn’t quite know how to use all it’s features.


It’s interesting how all these folks have the top of the line Canon body as their preferred choice of cameras. I’ve decided that if you have the money to buy the best that you do and that price is not a deciding factor which is also something we’ve seen on the higher end of the scale for our business: Clients that appreciate quality and peace of mind are willing to pay for the best.
