What does everyone think about the screenshot/photomode features?

I'm glad screenshots are finally coming to the Xbox One. It's great on the PlayStation 4. With games like DriveClub and Forza Horizon 2, the photomode is showing it's stuff. It's cool taking video clips but they're cumbersome and take far longer than taking a screenshot and sharing it. I thought I would like "Xbox, record that," more than I am. I'd much rather have a screenshot option.
 
I've took a few screenshots in Killzone but otherwise I never bother. Don't use photomode in games either.
 
I like taking screens much more than video myself, especially when a dev goes above and beyond and adds a photo mode the way sucker punch and naughty dog have.

And Turn 10. I am the self-proclaimed Jinca of Forza Horizon 2!!!
 
Love it to take new angles of the game especially when the devs take the extra time to create a special photomode for the title.
 
I really liked it in TLoU, but thats the only game i've played that had a specific mode for it. Honestly don't use it much when you can only take shots from default game perspectives...
 
I love screenshots! I am always trying to catch good screens. I'd walk a certain path over and over again just to get the screen I want, but that lag between when you tap the share button and when it actually takes the screen is unnecessarily difficult to work around. Also I want a "take a screenshot every second" feature like Fraps does.
 
I'm not really that into that kind of thing, but you never know when something crazy could happen so it's nice to be able to capture that. Video gets the job done, but like other stated screenshots would be quicker.
