Yes, different lighting conditions is an issue since some closets have different level of lighting, not to mention bedrooms, stores, etc. And, being able to get an idea of patterns is great! I have a sighted wife, so if she is around, I will ask her. Otherwise, I would use TapTapSee for now.

The best bang for your buck on an iPad right now is the new Apple 9.7 inch model. The mini four is, in my opinion, too old. If they had come out with a new one with the same processor as the new iPad 9.7, then I would think that would be a good choice. But they didn’t. You have to figure on
