No your not going to see the color of trichs wiht a cam unless you get a full blown SLR and then your still going to have to shell out for a better than 8MP(mega pixil) cam and then a really great lense (30x macro or better) to get in on the tight shots for trich color. the best way to see the color on trichs is to use a microscope the ones at radio shack are 30x-100x and are perfect for this. to see how plant and trich shots come out with the one i have check out the thread link in my signture about the satori many shots there i used the s5 for.
