By my rough count, there are 150 contrib projects for Drupal 7 that declare new field types as part of their central module. I've listed the projects here by their usage statistics.
Please let me know if I missed your field module!
UPDATE: Some people have asked... the reason I only included hook_field_info implementations from the project's main module is because my download of contrib contains profiles, which contain other modules' implementations of hook_field_info even though the profiles aren't declaring fields.
In total, across all modules and profiles I found ~234 implementations of hook_field_info.
Next time I scrape the project listings and run my update script, I will probably break the projects out into module/, profile/, and theme/ directories so I can more easily isolate trends across modules.

nodereference, nodereference
nodereference, nodereference_url
Ah yes, I missed
Ah yes, I missed nodereference since it's now part of references and there isn't a
references_field_info(). I will add that in.I don't see a
nodereference_url_field_info(), does that define new field types?Stablity
Reminds me of http://drupalcontribstatus.com/
I wonder, of these, which has a stable D7 release, and which have tests vs. no tests.
Project link
nice, but how about hyper linking each project name to the Drupal project URL.
Cheers.

Thanks, added.
Thanks, added.
Sheetnode
Sheetnode has a spreadsheet field: http://drupal.org/project/sheetnode
Core
So many of these have such high usage -- shouldn't at least the top few be considered for core?
Date is being worked on for D8 core
Working group for doing just that with Date module is here: http://groups.drupal.org/date-api.
Plan is to work on a Date 7.x-3.x version that will be the template for inclusion in D8 core.
Other modules
There are modules that provides widgets or formatters for other fields.
http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_container
I haven't included formatter
I haven't included formatter or widget modules in this analysis, but intend to cover those in a later one.
Availability Calendars
Another field module: http://drupal.org/project/availability_calendars
Stepper Field
Another Field:
http://drupal.org/project/field_stepper
Cheers!
Sebas.
That module doesn't seem to
That module doesn't seem to declare a new field type.
Commerce
Commerce also creates a couple of new field types
