Some question to ask – I am sure there are more
How portable is it?
How easy to setup by client?
Does it have autofocus?
Does it have a close and distance viewing (how are lenses stored)?
If used for reading ia an X Y table needed?
Are controls external or though laptop?
Will it work in parallel with magnification software, most won ’t?
Does it have more than colour and black and white ie inverse mode etc?
What are the laptop requirements to run it?
Can the camera be tilted and swivelled if needed?
