I've tried all the apps mentioned, and more. NONE come even close to the stability, features and reliability as SnapZ Pro. I don't like paying for the video version (it's expensive), and I don't like that they haven't updated SnapZ in ages. But it works flawlessly EVERY TIME even on my MacPro. You would think it would have problems with Intel Macs, but it doesn't. This is one area where paying for more than you need is worth it. I’ve tried all the apps mentioned, and more.

Snapz Pro is sooo problematic. I would so much rather use the buiolt-in screen shot method, or a freeware thing before using Ambrosia's POS software. The “market leader” doesn’t mean it’s good.

Unfortunately it's PPC so has a bit of lag on Intel computers. It captures JPEG, Tiff, PNG, GIF, JP2, Pict, BMP, QTIF, PSD , PDF and clipboard. It allows you to choose where the captures will be saved, the quality of the graphics and the size (dimensions) of the capture. Brilliant product - I only hope the soon offer a Universal Binary in the near future. Capture (Widget) http://vanillasoap.com/widgets/ is an extremely powerful capture utility.

Although this review was probably made as reviewing screenshot applications not widgets even if i prefer Screenshot Plus as my tool for screen captures..check it out. Ill check out CaptureMe because clicking to capture the window behind it and resizing the capture is a pretty kewl feature ...but ill stick with Screenshot Plus for sure! yea the screenshot plus widget is what i use it has most of those stuff and is very wonderful!

Since when? I guess 10.3 and lower had PDF as the default, and that is sort of weird. The shortcut keys are not hard to remember either. I'd suggest that the benefits of auto-resizing and automatic multi-grabs is worth using a 3rd party app, but otherwise there's little reason to replace something that's already built in. “It also saves in a weird format as a default”
