SnagIt is the screen capture tool I've sworn by for several versions. The install on my main PC remained at version 5 until recently and I'm exceptionally pleased with changes in the latest version. An improved user interface makes adjusting settings a joy, with input and output options exposed for quicker access. A new plug-in for Outlook makes grabbing shots from e-mail a snap, extending the line of capture plug-ins to all the MS Office apps.
Image editing is greatly improved in version 7, with the addition of some handy effects for drawing attention to specific areas within a screen capture, editing tools for eliminating unwanted portions of the image, in addition to better callout tools for adding pointers, word balloons, and other identifying markers. All editing is embedded in the preview window, allowing all editing to happen before the image is saved to disk. Profile management is ideal for someone like me who needs to capture in several different file formats throughout the course of a day.
There are many screen capture utilities available. SnagIt is the app that offers end-to-end capture and edit functionality, while including the convenience of screenshots from your most-used applications. I've tried many screen capture apps; SnagIt is the one I use.
