I’m not sure that I agree with a few comments, just based on my experience with Camtasia 3. “With Camtasia, everything on your screen (within your selected area, that is) is recorded. Recording is done in real time. So, if you were to pause for awhile to think, the pause would be recorded as well.” Yes, but Camtasia can easily be paused during the recording. As to “several features that were available in Captivate are not in included in Camtasia, for example, adding a highlight box, adding a click box, text entry box,” if I’m interpreting this part correctly, the first two, at least, are available as callouts, “highlight rectangle” and “transparent hot spot.”
I’m looking forward to seeing additional reviews and comparisons. But maybe it is time, and I just need to test them both myself.
