It's in the American version.  Scholastic paperback edition, chapter six,
page 96:

He [Colin] was clutching what looked like an ordinary Muggle camera, and the
moment Harry looked at him, he went bright red.

A couple of paragraphs later:

"and a boy in my dormitory said if I develop the film in the right potion,
the pictures'll move."

What I'd like to know is why is a Muggle camera allowed in Hogwarts?  He can
bring back proof of the wizard world!  I don't quite understand that,
considering he's bringing them back to show his Muggle father.
