Actually, Japanese people often use hashi (chopsticks) to eat sushi. Especially if it is served on a dish shared by others. To avoid touching any sushi with the eating end of the hashi, it also common practice to turn your hashi around (holding the hashi roughly in the middle) and pick up the sushi from the end you are not eating from, deposit the sushi on your plate, reverse the hashi and then eat it (after dipping it in your soy sauce and wasabi mixture).
There is nothing wrong with using your fingers to eat sushi, however again, if the sushi is coming from a shared plate, it is considered good etiquette to use hashi to transfer the sushi to your individual plate, before consuming it.
