Need some help on how you refer to camera owners by brand.

I am writing a short article about different camera brand owners and trying to come up with terms for them. But I'm having trouble with 3 brands.

Pentax = Pentaxians
Canon = Canonites
Nikon = Nikonians
Sony = ???
Olympus = ???
Fuji = ???

Can somebody tell me what the common nicknames are for these? Also, is my first 3 accurate?

Much appreciated.

Pentax = Pentaxians
Canon = Cretins
Nikon = Nerds
Sony = Silly People
Olympus = Oddballs
Fuji = Fools

Please note, levity is intended, if you are looking for offense, please look elsewhere.

Pentax = Pentaxians
Canon = Canoniers (as in that camera is as big and heavy as a cannon)
Nikon = Nikonites ... alternately Nikonians, but we already have two other "ians"
Olympus = Olympians (as they look down on us mortals)
Fuji = Fujistas
Sony = Do They Make Cameras?
Sigma = Not Pentax (just ask Mel...)

and just to be nice...

Minolta = Camera Minoltamus


p.s. what Wheatfield said. No offense intended...
