Following the HZ10W, released last year, the GPS-equipped HZ35W is Samsung's latest attempt to produce the ultimate all-in-one compact camera. To that end, it features the most broad-spanning lens of all of the cameras in this group, from a wideangle setting of 24mm to a telephoto of 360mm (equivalent). At 15x, this is a remarkably powerful optic, and its wide range is reflected in the camera's large size, relative to most competitive models.
