I use Camtasia Studio v5 (http://www.techsmith.com/), it's proven to be an extremely useful communication tool.

There are just so many instances where a screencap shows something much more clearly than trying to describe it with a bunch of text.

I also used it to make the video tutorials - it can generate a bunch of other kinds of video formats like WMV, Flash, etc... which are more efficient for something with a longer running time. But a GIF works great for something like 10-20 seconds or so.
