What kind of camera brands are there?

At the moment, I'm taking Digital Photography for school and I'm currently using a Nikon. (I love my D3100!) I know that there's Cannon, FujiFilm, and Sony, but out of curiosity, what other camera brands are there? Are there brands that are not specifically sold in the US? It peaks my interest.

Oh and btw, I'm not talking about the Point and Shoot ones. Definitely just DSLR cameras.

Oh and if you do have a DSLR, What Brand and model do you have?

There's Canon, Pentax, Nikon, Konica-Minolta, Sony, Sigma, Mamiya. Hasselblad, Fujifilm, Leica, Panasonic, Contax, Olympus…

There's more. It would be easier if you tried to Google keywords like dslr brand, rather than having us regurgitate them here.

There are popular brands and there are obscure brands. There are specialty brands and there are general purpose brands. There are established brands and there are mediocre brands. Now I'm pretty sure this is not what you are asking about but then I can't help myself.

DSLR brands? Here, help yourself.

Medium format dSLR brands include the following.
