Good, but not perfect
Pros: Fairly easy to use, has no problem getting around simple software precautions against screen captures. Sometimes when you say "Capture Desktop" you mean, "Capture primary monitor desktop", which makes ScreenHunter perfect for the job.
Cons: Default options make a loud noise and bring up a dialogue box every time you capture an image. Fortunately you can turn those off.
Cannot save to PNG format, so screen shots are either compressed to very lossy GIF format, or you get the strange speckles that JPG gives you, or you are stuck with huge BMP files for loss-less images. ScreenPrint32 saves to PNG, either 8bit or 24bit, which reproduces so much better than GIF or JPG.
Finally, ScreenHunter ignores multi-monitor setups, and always grabs screen shots of only the primary monitor. ScreenPrint32 grabs the COMPLETE desktop, regardless of how many monitors you have, or how they are arranged.
