When looking at high end industrial cameras, there are obvious attributes that distinguish the cameras from one another; resolution in mega pixels, speed or number of frames per second, type of sensor CCD versus CMOS, dynamic range and sensitivity, data interface type, mechanical form factor and lens mount, image processing capabilities if any, and the list goes on.
