I was ON and OFF... I used to have XA2 and XA3 in the past, bought it really cheap on the flea market, sold to friends and acquintances because never was too convinced I needed it... But now I found an expensive one (45 EUR), however this one is red and in excellent condition.... Should I keep it???
Sorry for picture quality (iphone)...

Definitely. Where else can you get a full frame compact that's red

That's awesome... keep it! Too cheap not to.

Hopefully it may match your nail polish!!! If it doesn't I'll take it off your hands!

Now look for a bright yellow XA2! I love the red one.

Strangely, I like that! Reminds me of a Ferrari Limited Edition...add a red Leica dot.. Just keep it out of the sun as red fades to pink too easily.
The yellow one would be interesting too.. just add a smiley face to the clamshell cover and...I'll take it!

Gotta tell ya though...our son and his family took us on an all-day boat ride on at Lake Hartwell and took the XA2! Wonderful thing to have in your pocket for these things. Unfortunately, the black one can get misplaced when you're back at the cabin.
Wish I had a brightly colored one for that trip!

Stealthy! ;-)
Too bad they didn't make the Fuji G690 in that shade of red -- that'd be the ultimate discreet street shooter.

As far as I can tell, there's no yellow version, there are blue and grey (off-white-ish, really).

In Japan many camera models were sold in various colors seldom seen here.
When I worked in camera repair at Olympus USA in 1986
we had all color XA2 body parts in stock in the parts room.
Looking back it might have been fun to put together a multi-color XA2.
Alas Mr. Okabe, my trainer would not have approved...
