Manage all of your screenshots
We review a lot of programs every day here at Softonic and we tend to take a lot of screenshots. The tools we use to do this need to be easy to launch and offer a good set of tools.
Copernicus is a solid screen capture tool which allows you to capture parts or your whole screen. You can also record small videos. Copernicus lets you set the frame rate and decide whether to rely on memory or hard drive.
I like how Copernicus includes a preview interface for batch handling your different screen grabs. When saving you'll notice you can adjust the quality of the image, however you won't be able to change the format from JPG.
I didn't really like how Copernicus worked with F keys, which I don't find the most comfortable to work with on a Mac. However other users might find them very handy for controlling the program.

Works well on 10.6 (Snow Leopard), not on 10.7 (Lion).
Copernicus works very well on my iMac mid 2007 with OS 10.6.8.
There is a black screen when trying it on my MacBookAir 13" mid 2012 with OS 10.7.4
Pros:
Easy to use, flexible fileformat and store folder
Cons:
Doesn't work with OS 10.7? More

Convenient, but....
Saving in only one format doesn't bother me (99% of the time, JPG is what I want). What annoys me is that it forces a space after JPG, which has to be corrected.
Pros:
Contrary to benjamin543's experience, I use it on Snow Leopard almost daily. More

Great product, works very well.
Very simple program. Enables one to take a shot of a full screen or of a selected section of the screen. Bypasses Grab's restriction on taking screenshots of movies. I like to have screenshots of some of the movies I watch to share with friends or to make a "cover shot" of a stored movie in my movie collection.
Pros:
Terrific, highly recommend!!!
Cons:
I wish the "tools panel" was movable and wasn't just stuck in the middle of the screen, as it is now. Also, the little "sample" window that pops up in the upper left corner when I start selecting the area to copy is annoying. More
