If you'll be using it to screen cap things on the web, check out Pearl Crescent Page Saver for Firefox. I dig it because you can take a screen cap of the entire page or just the visible portion. And it saves to PNG format.

I like the control print screen option. Then just plug into photoshop or any photo editing program and voila! If it get's distorted or doesn't look great, then look for software

Jing, or if you're on Win7, the Snipping tool. Fireshot is also a pretty decent Firefox plugin.

zscreen

Depends on the client - some will just use MS Faxviewer to view the image (or whatever the default MS thing is called). So a screen scrape is wasted on them - they generally want to print it, so sending them an image just makes it hard for them.
I generally just print to pdf (from within the browser).

I use Snagit and love it. Very simple and quick. Can also easily edit the screenshot with text and arrows etc... I have no idea how it compares with others.

Just use the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard and paste the data into MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop. SnagIt is also another good option.

Print Screen + Paste works fine, but remember to save your screenshot as a PNG or other lossless format. If you save it as a compressed JPEG, it will look like crap, text will be unreadable, etc.

Why you don't use Snipping Tool?
You can select whole screen or a part only, it has highlighter, eraser.

It's preinstalled on Windows 7, however I think that you can install it on XP too:
