During the last two weeks I had quite a few small talks with important digital camera dealers. We can expect price increases on most digital cameras from all manufactures. He said major retailers like Mediamarkt or Amazon will start to “feel” the supply problems by end of April. The supply problem with Sony-Canon-Nikon is estimated to persist for at least 4-6 months. It might be to early to draw final conclusions but there are some price increases like on the A55 in Germany (+60 Euro -> Source: Idealo) and the Sony NEX-3 in US (+ $50 -> Source: Bhphoto).
My overall impression after those “talks” is that Japanese companies are in a much worse situation than they want us to believe.

In your spare time, maybe you could help people in Japan clean up the tsunami and get food and water so they can start working in the factories again to make your a77.
i wish too, but i dont have iron man suite, i not even have Goku “flash portaling’. some more so poor, cannot afford flight to japan =.=|
Seems more like a case of the retailer listing the item at MSRP? At least in Canada, that is the usual state of affairs. Items listed at MSRP, they go on sale for 10-15% once in a while, and then they go back to MSRP. NEX3s and NEX5s happen to be on sale here at the momment.
