Look at how he is standing and holding the camera. That is NOT a person that knows anything about cameras or photography! It looks more like he is holding an old instamatic film camera from the 60's! Even though I love to pick on Canon owners, I would not use him as a standard bearer for that brand!
What you want to bet the picture he took is now considered a national security risk!!!!! LOL
hmmm here's the caption that was with the pic on the website...
looks like it's not the first family's camera
