The WB35F has got a fixed lens with a focal range of 24-288mm giving it a 12.0 x zoom which is definitely not perfect but it is likely to be helpful in some situations.

At it's widest 24mm, the lens features an aperture of f3.1 making it really sluggish and not the best for low light situations and you will struggle to get good bokeh. You would also have to boost your ISO setting resulting in noisy shots. On the long end, 288mm is exceptional zoom and comes with f6.3 which is quite slow and you might have to choose slower shutter speeds.

The WB35F has the following connectivity:

• Wireless Yes
• NFC Yes

Cameras that have NFC and Bluetooth support can be used wirelessly by smartphones. You will be able to transfer images and usually alter camera settings without connecting physically with the camera.

Certain apps also enable a Liveview and press the shutter whenever you aren't near the camera. If the camera has a HDMI port, it can be attached to an external display. A good number of cameras enable you to recharge the battery with the USB port.

The highest video resolution in the Samsung WB35F is 1280 x 720 and you can save in file format. 720p is terrible for today's requirements. You should go for at least 1080p resolution for decent video. The body doesn't include a microphone and headphone jack which means that you have got zero control over the audio. It is perhaps a better idea to get a different model in case you want decent audio for your videos.

Samsung WB35F doesn't have weather sealing so rainy conditions can easily ruin the camera.

The Samsung WB35F has got a 2.7 inch fixed screen with a resolution of 230 thousand dots.
