Sony Updates DVD Burner

In addition to the two new flash memory camcorders, Sony will update its DVDirect DVD burner. This standalone burner connects to camcorders to transfer footage (both standard and high definition) to DVD discs without a computer.

The new model (VRD-MC6, $229) sports a 2.7-inch LCD, FireWire, Composite Video and USB inputs as well slots for Memory Stick, SD/SDHC, and xD flash memory cards. It's also due in September.
