The other manufacturers were already making autofocus film SLRs, so they have a good catalog of legacy and modern autofocus lenses to choose from. Pentax probably has the best compatibility with ancient lenses if that's really a consideration for you.
From what I can tell, the pros who are using Oly these days are the ones who value portability into the field under any conditions: smaller size, lighter weight, weatherproofed.

OK.....this helps a lot. In regards to why the pros using Oly. I appreciate the information in regards to focusing challenges as well.
I'm starting to lean more toward the "Big Two" now.
Thanks for your input!!
