If you want to get a quick snapshot of the prices of the various APS-C DSLRs, we just posted the APS-C DSLRs Price Chart at the main blog. If you missed them, last week we also posted price snapshots Compacts with RAW and Mirrorless Cameras and 35mm full frame cameras.
We have just finished updating a handful of stock status pages. You can find all the available stock status pages in the middle of the right sidebar of this blog. The ones in bold are typically updated more often. The theme of this update was decidedly price increases! Cameras are listed alphabetically within each subgroup below...
Fixed Lens Cameras

+ Fuji X100 - two retailers accept online pre-orders nao: OneCall and J&R World

The Canon 60D received the most requests for a new stock status page, so we launched a Canon 60D stock status page. You can also find the link to it in the right sidebar of this blog and the main blog under the "Stock Status" section. As of this update, the prices are fixed across most of the major retailers, $900 for the body-only, $1200 w/18-135mm and $1300 w/18-200.
The kit with the 18-200mm is in-stock for $1300 at Target, and Sears itself. (As of March-11-2011 12:18am EST, Vanns has sold out.)
With the Oscars and all being today, we issued a "life time achievement" award to the Nikon D700. We couldn't afford a gold statue, so instead we launched a D700 stock status page :)
As usual, you can find all the stock status pages towards the middle of the right sidebar of this blog, and also the main blog. You can also get a list of the stock status pages at the main blog at the stock status page archives.
As mentioned earlier on, we have now just launched a Canon S95 stock status and price-checker page. You can find this and all the other stock status pages in the right sidebar of this blog and the main blog.
As of this update, the lowest prices among the retailers we track are $368 with free shipping at Abt Electronics and $369 with free shipping at Adorama.
We have just refreshed the stock status pages of the following cameras, with these being the lowest prices as the time of writing (prices in the blog-posts are not updated automatically - check the retailers for the most current updates):

We have just refreshed the Pentax K-5 stock status page and as of the time of this update, the best prices among the retailers we track on a regular basis are:
+ body-only for $1470~ $1420 w/free S&H at B&H Photo
+ w/18-55 WR for $1579 at Adorama
After a quick price-check, it looks like the current price of the Canon S95 is around $370~ at Amazon by Amazon and Best Buy which also offers a free 4GB SDHC card and a photo book thing. Not the lowest prices as this camera appears to be popular so there is not as much incentive to discount it much. As you may recall, it almost crashed NewEgg during Black Friday Madness when it was offered for $300 as a true e-doorbuster - it sold out within a few seconds.
Time to price-check the other "DxO darling" camera, the Pentax K-5. We have just refreshed the K-5 stock status page and the lowest prices among the retailers we track are:
+ body-only: $1494 at Adorama
+ w/18-55WR: $1590 at Abe's of Maine w/coupon ABESAVES, $1620 elsewhere (Amazon, B&H Photo, Adorama)
Things have finally quieted enough so we can refresh some of the Stock Status pages. We will try to get to as many as we can, but we probably won't be able to refresh them all. UPDATE: This edition is now final! We will get to the rest of the updates at another day.
