It's a check box.. you can select more than one factor. A radio button will restrict you to only one.

Mostly online reviews and recommendations by others. It's great when I can get to use the stuff before buying it, but most often, no one has the gear I'm looking to buy.

Anyway, my expanding SLR system has now slowly started shrinking, so no more purchases coming up (hopefully).
