Yes there are cameras with this function. I bought a Cannon Powershot S3 15 this summer for 400 dollars, the Function is called "Color Accent"
You select the setting and then use your camera to capture the color you want to expose, for example if you wanted to only the blue sky to expose in your photo, then you would hold down the selection button and the camera gathers the color, then you just shoot the picture. The blue will show up, but the rest of the photo will be black&white.
There is also a setting on this camera called color swap, where you can gather your color, and then select a second color, the second color will be filtered over top of any objects with color one. For example the blue sky color is selected, and then as a second color you select the green from your shirt, when you snap the picture the sky will appear green insted of blue.
These settings and options are fairly new and cutting edge and are mostly seen on high end, expensive digital cameras.

The camera doesn't do this. It's done in software. Here's an easy way of doing it yourself:
Take a photo in color (for example, a person holding a flower).
In Photoshop (or any other photo editing software that uses layers) open the color photo. Convert the photo to gray scale (black and white). Keep this gray scale photo open and re-open the original color photo again. Copy the gray scale and paste it onto the color photo as a new layer. Now, working with this top, gray-scale layer, use the eraser tool to erase the part you want in color (in this example it would be the flower). Now the color from the bottom layer will show through in the black and white photo.

ah no sorry, generally, that is something that a designer would do digitally on a computer. or traditionally color on black and white film unless you have some uber high tech equipment. it
is nice some people responded with how to get this effect in photoshop, but , I think the asker is probably not familiar with the program to understand. there are lots of online tutorials of varying difficulty (many have pictures)

Not that I have seen. Pictures like that are usually taken in black and white, and then color is added after the fact, either by hand, or in a software editing program.

Um... no.
That b/w with one color thingy is done is likely done after development and added in with some sort of paint/photoshop program.

Sorry cameras don't do the special effect, the developers do.

I haven't encountered cameras that's like that... So I don't think so... But I know that you can do it by yourself in Adobe Photoshop.
