You might want to look at my article on cameras at the KE.
It really doesn't matter too much what camera you use as you are
replacing your eye with a camera and all cameras basically do
that job, some better than others.  The lens you put on the
camera will be more important as it will allow the filling of the
image field with the mirror under test.  Polaris is a good
supplier of lenses as they have one at 25mm which will provide a
good FOV for a typical focal length range of mirrors.

Replace the obvious words with the proper character.
