First on the list is the Canon Rebel XSi/ 450D. As expected, this DSLR is aimed to replace the aging Rebel XTi/ 400D. Upping the ante are appealing features that some may describe as "finally". This shooter packs a new 12.2 Megapixel sensor, 3 inch LCD, DIGIC III processor, spotmeter and a live view shooting mode. Plus, Canon has at long last dumped CompactFlash support, letting us use SD and SDHC cards instead (Some may be disappointed... Yes I'm talking to you, Bryan). Heading out to stores in April, this DSLR should fit nicely into the sub-US$1000 category.
An LCD similar to point-and-shoots
Raging rumours about a new Windows OS have been spreading like wildfire. Dubbed Windows 7 (I'm not sure why), this upcoming OS may be out as early as mid 2009. Hopefully, this new OS will not require at least a 1 year old computer to run and not cause others to decelerate to a pitiful crawl like its predecessor.
Additionally, a report has shown that the next "Battlefield" game will be free of charge. This successful game series have delievered outstanding titles such as Battlefield 2 (my own favourite) and Battlefield 1942. This move may be driven by an urge to compete with other games such as Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3. We all like free software, don't we? However, based on current freeware games, I doubt that free games will be of any fun to me.
There is another about a new prosumer HD camcorder that Sony has unveiled recently. I trust that Bryan can shed some light on this bleeding edge tech.
This concludes my post. Standby for further updates.

YEAH! I wish got CF. WTH la Canon. CF is better than SD. Imagine y the prosumer SLRs still use CF, its simply more durable and robust.
why is CF better than SD? coz of better read/ write speed?
