I cannot say that the newer ones are worth the money.

The 3.0 megapixel - set on "High sensitivity" will capture a rabbit easy enough:



The older version (1.3 megapixel)will capture small animals too - but the resolution is not as good - and often they are moving and blurry. Turkeys are no problem though



I've taken plenty of pictures of raccon, couple opossum, squirrels and crows with both cameras.
