Yes. I shoot B&W in an "old" TRV9 when shooting infrared

(its color image is not very good...), and get nice

results (see: www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/ir.htm for samples).

Good 3-CCD cameras can offer superior tonality, though,

with more "open" shadows and better highlight detail (see:

www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder--comparison.htm).
