For now, we have relatively little information on the Samsung WB35F, but it seems to be a fairly basic entry-level model except for its Wi-Fi / NFC connectivity. Based on an image sensor A 1/2.3-inch, 16.2-megapixel CCD, the WB35F offers a sensitivity range of ISO 80 to 3200 equivalents.

The sensor sits behind a 12x optical zoom lens with a wide angle equivalent to 24mm and a telephoto equivalent in the region of 288mm. Maximum aperture starts at f/3.1 and drops to f/6.3 with the telephoto. On the plus side, optical image stabilization is included, helping to prevent blur from camera shake. Images and video are framed and reviewed on a 2.7-inch, 230K LCD screen. dots smaller than average.

Shooting modes include Smart, Smart Auto, Photo/Video Filter and Live Panorama. Smart mode offers a variety of scene types including Landscape, Action Freeze, Silhouette, Sunset, Fireworks , Light Trail, Beauty Face, Night, and Macro. Video resolutions include HD (1280 x 720 pixels; 720p), VGA (640 x 480), and QVGA (320 x 240). All are captured at 30 frames per second.

Images and movies are stored on MicroSD cards, including higher capacity MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC types. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi wireless networking with remote live view support and NFC for easy setup with Android devices. Power comes from a BP70A battery.

Samsung WB35F body colors include white, black, red and purple. Pricing and availability had not been disclosed at the time of publication.
