Great List. These websites are the most helpful for understanding what sensors are out there.

If you are willing to dig deeper and know exactly what type of sensor you want you can look at the big electronics distributors.

A website that I have found really useful is octopart
http://octopart.com/
You can usually find the best price and most information between many different sources.
