in-camera pleasantville
Okay, not exactly “in-camera” but it was a new approach that I thought was pretty clever.
Cinematographer Ray Schlogel recently Directed/Shot/Edited a music video with a different approach to the Pleasantville effect. He lit the set with green gels, keeping them off the subject. Then shot it with a Canon HD w/ 35mm lens adapter. To get the effect, he just desaturated the green out of the shot (using Sony Vegas). No roto.
Music Video and brief discussion of the technique (with production stills) can be found here:

Just did my own test of that method, it works like a charm. Pretty smart.

I remember my parents having an early consumer digital camera that could desaturate all but one colour in camera.
