The first USB3 products are expected in Q4 2009 or 2010. It's hard to say when the first camcorder USB3 interfaces may appear, but if I had to guess I'd say NAB April 2010 for early prototypes, another year for shipping models.
But you're behind the curve already. Camcorders use memory cards, and you transfer video via a USB2 card reader just fine; no USB3 needed.
