Are the mini dv camcoders below compatible with Vegas Video 3.0?

SONY DCR-TRV18 Mini DV Camcoder
SONY DCR-TRV25 Mini DV Camcoder
SONY DCR-TRV27 Mini DV Camcoder

I've already looked the hardware compatibily page of VV3, but I've not seen these models.

Thanks,

Lawrence Shum

These models are the MicroMV which are recording in Mpeg2 12 Mbits on
MMV tape. Vegas Video cannot capture this format. There are only two
softwares that can download this format. Sony Shaker and Ulead VideoStudio6 MMV
version. Pinnacle Studio 8 claimed that it's can do on their package but the
Sony people confirmed that it's does not.

I am sure Sonic Foundry folk is looking into this.

Actually, that is not correct. All 3 of these cameras are miniDV. I have the DCR-TRV27 and it works just fine with Vegas.

That is true. All those cameras will work with VV3 becasue they have the firewire cable. So will the VX1000, VX2000, PD150, DSR 250, et al.
