>I've never known any 'pro' to use anything other than Nikon, Canon, and Sony. But I know plenty of amateur's who use Fuji.
How many do you know? Pros range from portrait and wedding photographers, to travel photographers, photojournalists, sports photographers, product photographers, professional fine arts photographers, etc.
Sports photographers and journalists did switch to Canon at some point because of the faster/more automated autofocus system, but they bounced back to Nikon circa the D3, and people use stuff all over the map now.
And of course back in the film days (pre 2000-2005) tons of pros used Minolta, Leica, Olympus, Pentax and other brands, and lots of them kept their brand loyalty.
Also most really well paid pros in fashion and product photography used medium formats such as Hasselblad. And with news and wedding photographers transitioning to video, lately Canon (which started promisingly) and Nikon have been seen as big jokes compared to Sony and even Panasonic.

Heck, here's a pro (and a magnum photographer at that) using Olympus compacts: http://www.robgalbraith.com/multi_page8c1c.html?cid=7-6468-7... (Olympus compacts)
