Hey David,

The freeware utility Onyx will let you change the format, destination, and filename of screenshots. Look in the 'General' tab of the 'Parameters' section.
There's another more specialized freeware utility savescreenie2 that I think works in Snow Leopard.
There used to be a nice little preference pane, but that seems to have evaporated.
Of course you can do it from the terminal
defaults read com.apple.screencapture
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type <format>
Availible formats are : png pdf jpg jp2 gif tif bmp pict tga
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location <path>
defaults write com.apple.screencapture name <string>
killall SystemUIServer
If you want more options buy a utility like Snapz Pro.
