Looking at this one I have the strange same sensation of a not original colour.<br />I have fortunately got the chance to find a true purple one from another more serious seller.<br />I left you some photos of my real purple Beolit 600 so you can compare it to this fake lavender blueish color, knowing that&nbsp; each camera has slightly different presets.</p> <p><br />Happy summer holidays to All!</p> <p>Marc</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
