Like the title says, I want a non-soviet blue, green, red colored camera. :) Any out there and ever made or not?

I have kodak brownie starflash cameras in red, blue, white and black. They're are not rangefinders, use 127 film and have a single element, probably plastic lens

I believe there are Olympus XA2s that left the factory in colors other than black, though I can't remember which colors those are, at least off the cuff. I think they have red and blue.
Konica POP. I saw a red one the other day for $5. Not sure if was working. I think they came in a blue and a white as well.

I have seen both the XA2 and XA3 in red with matching flash. My local camera shop has an XA3 + flash in red for sale for about £50

Hi,
If you want a blue Canonet GIII have a look at the first post on this thread. http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5894&page=2&pp=20 I could be persuaded to part with it. ;)
Regards

You can vastly extend your options here by shortlisting your most desirable cameras. Then go to a site like cameraleather.com . You will see a wide variety of camera coverings here from plain colours to exotic lizard skins. I recently recovered a Minolta SLR and found the service excellent and the covering easy to apply. Morgan Sparks has created a very nice website here.
Good Luck Steve S.

I second Steve S. Cameraleather.com is a photog's candy shop. I had them recover a Leica IIIc in black, but now that I see they have a tan Ostrich I may have to send it back. The M3 looks stunning.

Thanks for the replies! I think I may go with cameraleather.com.
Red seems to be the most common color of non black XA's. Blue seem to be very rare. I've never seen even a pic of a website of anything else.
Don't forget the Bessa T Heliar 101 set (http://cameraquest.com/voig101.htm) which came in Blue, Olive, and Grey.
