Canon Portable Burner Transfers High Def AVCHD to DVD Without a Computer
Posted by Adrian Covert at 11:30 AM on November 27, 2007
I'm usually turned off by video transfer/burner devices like this Canon DW-100 because of how unrefined DVD burning still is. The DW-100 takes high-def AVCHD video from your camcorder and burns it to DVD without a computer. It's hard to argue with that.
It can also function as an external burner for any PC or Mac computer. If this works like it should, and Canon markets it properly, a device like this could do well in the current home movie market. It is expected to release in March 2008, but no price has been set. [Akihabara News via Geek Sugar via Crunch Gear]

Is the DW-100 available in any part of the world yet ?
Does anyone have a price and more details ?

Now if an AVCHD camcorder could just match the image quality of it's counterpart HDV camcorder.

@ecsw:
According to this press item, the VRD-MC5 was only announced in Japan in May of 2007. It wasn't expected to hit stores in the USA until August of this year. Way short of "a year". There is way too much hyperbole on the internet.
