Best Free Screen Capture Utility

[size=large]2.2 Best Free Screen Capture Utility[/size]
My top suggestions in this category have long been PrintScreen
[1] and ScreenHunter Lite [2]. The former has the advantage of
simplicity while the later has more features. These are both
quality freebies that will meet the needs of most people so I
haven't really been looking for alternatives. However, after
some glowing recommendations from subscribers about FastStone's
Screen Capture [3] I decided to check this program out. In a
word, it's outstanding. It's small, doesn't require installation
and has more features than you could ever want including the
ability to capture scrolling screen shots across more than one
screen page. It can also save in BMP, JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, GIF,
TIFF and TGA formats. In many ways it's like the full commercial
version of ScreenHunter except that it's free for personal use.
This one goes straight into my "46 Best-ever Freeware" list.
While at the site check out FastStone's Image Viewer [4]. I
think it's the best freebie in its class. Its speed is simply
sensational; reminiscent of the old ACDSee before it suffered
feature bloat.
