The FZ35 includes a built in lens featuring a focal range of 27-486mm making it a 18.0 x zoom which is amazing and does enable you to zoom all the way in.

At the widest 27mm, the lens offers an aperture of f2.8 which is fairly slow and not great in low light circumstances and you will likely find it difficult to capture a shallow depth of field. You could also have to raise the ISO setting giving you noisy photographs. With the tele end, 486mm is incredible zoom and comes at f4.4 which is fairly slow and you may need to go with slow shutter speeds.

The FZ35 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes
• HDMI Yes

It is perhaps best to shop for another model if you need good audio in your video clips.
