Q.
A. Hi Matt:
From searching Sony's websites, using the keywords "USB 3.0", just the latest Sony Vaio laptops, and the Z-series Power Media Docks (with DVD or Blu-ray burners) show having the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports. None of the newest camcorders show any USB 3.0 ports, even though a Micro-B USB 3.0 (small form factor, as needed on small gadgets) connector exists. Unlike the "A"-end (computer side) of a USB 3.0 cable, with its backward-compatible plug design, the "Micro-B" connector (camera/gadget side) is not backward-compatible with Mini-B or Micro-B connections for USB 2.0 or 1.1.
Sony's "Picture Motion Browser" version 5.6 and higher, which is used to connect Sony cameras and camcorders to PCs & handle media files, has USB 3.0 enhancements enabled for any cameras that might have USB 3.0 model-specific features built in. PMB versions 5.5 and below won't be able to take advantage of USB 3.0 enhancements.
Windows 7 didn't initially ship with USB 3.0 support (Windows 8 has it built-in), and Intel & AMD just started supporting the new standard last year (with integrated support for chips shipping this year), so the new ports have been slow to take off.
The basic concept of USB, regardless of speed, still differs from FireWire (tiered star topology vs. daisy-chain topology), with FireWire's ability to supply 80% isochronous uninterrupted bandwidth for video streams that require constant guaranteed bandwidth. This is the reason you don't see USB ports utilized on low-compression high-data rate camcorders, such as DV, miniDV, HDV, and DVCAM models, except for still photo/memory-card transfers.
hope this helps,
--Dennis C.
