Great image from Mars Express. This camera on Mars Express will have a resolution capability in orbit at Mars of 10 meters in color and 2.3 meters in B/W:

One of the scientists on the Mars Express HRSC color camera team is Dennis Reiss. He had argued there were indications of currently forming water carved gullies in Russell crater on Mars:

Dune
Is There Martian Mud in Russell Crater?
by Astrobiology Magazine staffwriter
"Summary: Satellite photos of a bright dune in the Martian southern hemisphere show remarkable details of an unusual erosion pattern. Unlike rocky avalanches found elsewhere, the dune flows suggest to two German scientists that for a few summer noon hours, liquid water may carve up the dunes in a region called Russell Crater. They ask the question: has mud flowed in the last thousand years on Mars?"

The THEMIS camera has shown it is possible to image the gully areas on Mars at 20m/pixel resolution. So the Mars Express camera should be able to resolve these areas in color at 10m/pixel.

For those of us interested in investigating possible life on Mars it is noticeable there are greenish areas in the upper right in the Mars Express image.
