The Fuji X100 has now dropped to $1050 at B&H Photo as price-pressure mounts from the upcoming release of the $1300 Fuji X100S. X100 prices are dropping but when price-checking online be sure to check both the reputation and the authorized-dealer status of the seller offering the camera at discounted prices! If you are aware of the risks and trade-offs when buying from lower-tier retailers on eBay/Amazon/Sears/etc, that's your decision, but don't buy just because the price is lower! Be sure to understand the risks/trade-offs first.
With the new Fuji X100S second-generation model coming in the next few weeks, the used prices of the first-generation Fuji X100 are getting some price pressure. As of the time of writing, you can get it used in good condition for $720 by Amazon Warehouse Deals (30 day return, no warranty) and for $740 at Adorama with 6-month Adorama limited warranty. These are available through Amazon. These are used! When price-checking these, at Amazon or eBay or elsewhere, be sure to check who the seller is and their reputation if you are not familiar with them!
With the second generation Fuji X100S waiting in pre-order state, there is more price pressure on the original Fuji X100. Its price is now down to $1080 B&H Photo and Amazon.com. The camera is already discontinued/no-longer-available at Adorama, J&R World and Best Buy which previously carried it... When price-checking online, be sure to pay attention to what the seller is. You may find it at a lower price, but also at a lower quality of a seller. Also be sure to check authorized dealer status which has warranty implications.
UPDATE (2/1/13 at 9:51pm ET): The Amazon "Item Under Review" warning appears to be resolved as it is no longer shown on the aforelinked product page.
The Sigma DP1x is on a price-dropping trend again. As of the time of writing, you can get it for $390 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon. We are placing a "falling knife" watch on it. In the fall of 2012, it dropped as low as $250 before it started climbing up in price.
UPDATE (10:18pm ET): The price is now $350 via a 3rd-party seller with the order fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon's own price remains at $390. Thanks to PoA for the alert in the comments!
Also keep in mind that Sigma has multiple DP-series models, so be sure to look into them if you are not familiar with all the different models. The latest models have the slightly larger Merrill APS-C-ish sensors, growing from the 1.7x-ish sensors of the earlier Sigma-Foveon cameras.
As of a 1/17/13 at 11:47pm ET recheck, the Fuji X100 Limited Edition sold-out and is marked as discontinued at B&H Photo.

This is a caution alert. You may see this making the rounds on the internets but do not fall for the low price! Sunset Electronics on Amazon is offering the Fuji X100 (2010 model) for $842. Do not buy it because the price is low. There are a lot of risks involved with this. Research and Google! Unless you are a super-seasoned shopper and understand all the potential risks and issues and problems you may run into, do not buy this! Do not fall for the low price!
The Fuji X100S is now available to pre-order at its starting price of $1300 at Amazon.com. For more on the camera itself, check our customary X100S announcement round-up.
