I notice that Canon G7, as well as a few other Canon compact digital

With color accent, you can choose one color only to be present in the
image, while the other colors will be in B&W. Does Nikon compact
(P5000, etc), or Lumix (FZ7, FZ50, etc) has this feature? Any more
expensive DSLR cameras have this feature? perhaps in some Canon DSLR?
I believe that you can also create this effect afterwards in a
software, but the built-in feature in Canon compact would be much
more convenient.
Thanks for info.


I always love how people cannot seem to just answer the question being
asked but rather have to berate the OP instead. It's fine to share
your opinion but at least do the person a favour and try to answer the
question.

Most if not all of the new Canon P&S models have this feature (both my
S80 and my SD650 have it). I do not belive the dSLRs do though (I
don't have one - Yet). The XTi for example has picture styles
settings - but they relate more to colour saturation and accuracy, and
do not necessarily allow the function you are looking for.

Now in regards to the comments on the effect's usefulness - if you
like it use it and don't worry about other people's opinions. Now if
you are looking for a better way to get the same effect, then sure
take some advice from people who have done this other ways. I agree
there are probably more effective ways to do the work in something
like Photoshop or Photopaint (as you yourself have mentioned), but
heck - it is much quicker to do in the camera. And if I am not
mistaken (I have not used this feature in a while) the Canon P&S's
will actually save both a "normal" image and the modified - colour
accent image. So really what is the harm - if you like the effect,
great - if you think you could have done better with software after
the fact - go back to the original and do it.
