I've been considering getting the NX300 and I have some questions perhaps some of the experienced members here might answer.

Firstly. I notice that in the various kits they offer... they have the option of either the 18-55mm or 20-50mm lens.

There are also kits with the 2D/3D lens or 50-200 or 18-55 and 50-200 at times, but yeah, those are the two that I would really consider kit lenses (the 20-50 and 18-55)

What is the difference between the two and is one better then the other? Pros/Cons?

Maybe best to do a quick search on the forum, we've talked about it quite a bit one here before.  Also remember there are some different versions of them.

Do all these NX300 kits come with the flash in the box as well?

Yes, all with the weak, but small and light SEF8 (GN of 8 I think).

What would be a good 3rd party flash to use for more power?

You might actually want to wait for Samsung upcoming SEF580A flash to be released, I believe it will have a guide number of 58.

Thank you for your time in advance.
