Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Panasonic ZS40 has external dimensions of 111 x 64 x 34 mm (4.37 x 2.52 x 1.34″) and weighs 240 g (0.53 lb / 8.47 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung WB35F is significantly lighter (46g ) than the Panasonic ZS40 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 (Lumix DMC-TZ60) nor Samsung WB35F provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS40's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung WB35F's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
