IMHO, bitmaps are the worst image file format ever!
Not only are the file sizes insane, but the presentation of them are horrid. I have my brightness in game, up quite a bit... the bitmap screenshots come out pitch black. But if you brighten them in your image editor program, they just look... bad (compared to how beautiful the game looks while playing).
The screenshots really don't do the game justice, and if the screenshots are going to be over 1M in size at 800x600 resolution, make em .tga's! TGA's are so easy to work with (at least for me).
My two cents.
