Some more here http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-drive-imaging-program.htm

I use this: http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-drive-imaging-program.htm#paragonanchor
I like Macrium myself, used it the first time the other day and was quite impressed, either of the top two would be good choices but Macrium is a third of the size to download  ;)

That Macrium certainly has more Stars than the others.  ;D

What does it mean by "No incremental or differential backups?"
Because I notice that Macrium has neither of those, yet Paragon does have differential backups.

I take it the Drive Image with any of these Apps can be saved onto a CD or Flash Drive?

incremental are small backups made at a set time period.
differential are backups which are only backups of what is different between the current backup and what is now on the computer.

Only if you have an extremely small HD
Usually you need an external HD to do Image Backups.
