And you
can mount M42 and K-mount lenses (and Olympus OM, Nikon F, Contax/Yashica, Leica R, etc.) onto Canon EOS with adapter rings, you know, so at actual count of glass-I-can-put-on-the-front, Canon's ahead, although Olympus/Panasonic four-thirds is the clear winner on that count [grin].
I agree with everyone that for the subject matter the OP mentions, all five cameras are a great choice.
But the cost and availability of lenses and other equipment is another consideration. I'd recommend learning
the basics of lenses, and thinking about which ones you'd like to start with, and then go see what's available at what prices. With SLRs, the body is just the platform, and likely to be upgraded within 3-5 years. The lenses are your permanent purchase.
