Nikon was always the pro's choice, (back in the 35mm film days anyway) and Pentax was a close second. The true pro's used medium format cameras, but none of these were canon, nikon or pentax and cost an arm and a leg ($10,000 +). We did want to try a medium format (60mm) film camera on my scope but they didn't have 3" focusers then and the vignetting would have been huge.

There is a lot more astro software available for canon cameras and there are a lot of cheap entry level models available, and lots of second hand ones as well.
