DSLR cameras range from cheap to insanely expensive, depending on the needs of the photographer and what sort of features they would like to have. Now if you’re in the market for an entry-level DSLR, Canon might have something for you. According to the folks at Canon Rumors, they got tipped off that Canon might announce a new entry-level DSLR camera in the very near future, which we can only assume is CP+ since the event will be taking place in about a month’s time. In fact the upcoming camera will be placed below the EOS 100D.

It seems that Canon might have several new cameras to announce at CP+. Last we heard Canon might be looking to announce the successor of the EOS 7D, the EOS 7D MK II. The rumors also suggested that Canon might have a new PowerShot camera in the works too called the G1 X Mark II, which is the successor to the Canon G1 X from back in 2012. Either way take it all with a grain of salt for now, but if you’re looking for new camera products, check back with us during CP+ to see if there are any official announcements to be had!

Back in 2013, we heard the rumors that Microsoft could be looking to introduce a voice assistant feature to their Windows Phone handsets which has been codenamed Cortana, after the AI in the Halo franchise. One of the interesting features is that Cortana will have an always-listening mode much like the Moto X meaning that users will not have to press any buttons in order to activate it, making it pretty convenient. In any case according to the latest rumors from MSFTNerd, it seems that Cortana will be voiced by none other than Jen Taylor, the same voice actress for Cortana in the Halo video games, and that the voice assistant feature will be released to Windows Phone devices this April.

Given that the Build conference is scheduled around that time as well, it would not be a stretch of the imagination to think that is when Microsoft will be taking the opportunity to announce the new feature. As expected Microsoft is rumored to be introducing Cortana across its range of products and services, such as the Bing app for iOS users, the Xbox One, and possibly even Windows users in the Windows “Threshold” update which has reportedly been scheduled for 2015. In any case it’s not completely out of the question to think that Microsoft is developing a voice assistant feature of their own, but as to whether it performs as advertised is the better question.

Valentine’s Day is a little less than a month away and while we’re sure there are plenty of folks out there who have plans with their loved ones, there are also those who might not have plans and could be looking to stay home and do something else instead. Well if you fall into the latter camp or if you’re looking for a good reason to stay home on the romantic, albeit commercialized day, you might be interested to learn that the first DLC chapter for The Last of Us could be set for a Valentine’s Day release, at least according to the PlayStation Store promotional image that was captured by the folks at GameTrailers, which has also been confirmed by Sony Entertainment Network’s listing.

Assuming the information is accurate and final, the DLC which has been titled “Left Behind” will be priced at $14.99. The exact details of the DLC remains unknown at the moment, but actress Ashley Johnson revealed that the DLC will star a younger and more playful version of Ellie, one of the main characters in The Last of Us.

I guess you can call it the law of the tech world – as a particular device nears its release date, more and more leaks are headed our way, and that seems to be the case with not one, but two devices from the folks over at Nokia – that is, the Nokia Lumia 1820 as well as the Nokia Lumia 1525. An unproven leakster did share via Twitter that both handsets will come loaded to the brim with features and functionality, where the Nokia Lumia 1820 will boast of a 5.2″ 2K display, a Snapdragon 805 chipset, 3GB RAM, 32GB of internal memory, carry a generous 3,400 mAh battery, in addition to a camera that sports Nokia’s post-shot focusing technology and Xenon flash. As for its design, it is touted to be in the same vein as that of the Nokia Lumia 928, which happens to be slimmer compared to the existing flagship that is Lumia 1020.
