a little late... found some notes from awhile back, was looking for a "better than basic windows screencap" utility. For what it's worth :
HoverSnap v0.8
http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
HoverSnap is a a free handy snapshot tool with jpg, png, bmp and gif support.HoverSnap can take snapshots of the full screen, active window or a selected area. It can even capture layered windows (alphablended ones under 2K / XP). You can even FTP upload your screenshots !
You can set up the capture folder / filename and format.
You can reduce the capture size.
Auto-generate filename option will add the time stamp (date/time) to your filename in order to be able to take several captures without having to change the filename.
Optional sound when capture is done.
HoverSnap is FREE for personal use only !

UltraSnap --- $25 US
Very good product...

UltraSnap was originally written for internal purpose, to speed up process of creating multimedia presentations, manuals and web pages and to simplify sending digital photos by e-mail. Because it performed beyond any expectations we decided to make it available for public.

TNT Screen Capture --- $45 US
Another cadillac utility (others will get you there for less, but the leather seats are nice)

If I can find some other notes, and I can finish it, I'll post a homemade (very basic, but free) screencap utility...
