Image capturing tools

To all,

I am seeking more information on the imaging capturing tools. I am currently using the Snagit, and I am happy with it. BUT, I found that the image captured with it is quite large in size (2KB - 3KB, etc). When I insert all my images into the Winword document file (300++ KB) and convert the document into pdf format, it produce pdf file in large size (more than 3mb).

Question.
1) I think I can reduce the file size of the image file captured through output-> properties -> options and adjust color options, am I right?
2) Do you have any other recommended GOOD image capturing tools?

I wonder how you all guys capture the images used in the tutorial. Which application? What is the settings you used?

Thanks in advance.
