I just pre-ordered the 16-50 mm f2.8 lens ...and when the 50-200 mm comes out, I'll be ordering that one....with two lenses I'll have the 16 to 200 mm coverage I need with fast lenses for any situation.

?  What 50-200?  There are three 50-200 versions for NX that are all basically the same optically.  If you mean a 50-200 f/2.8, I wouldn't hold my breath.  Even the rumor mill only speaks only of a 50-150 f/2.8 or a 300mm prime f/2.8.

I had this with my Canon 60D where I had the 24-70 f2.8 L lens and the 70 - 200 f2.8 L lens.....the only problem was the 70 -200 was large and heavy and conspicuous. These new Samsung lenses are a lot smaller.

Well, the Samsungs don't have a lens that long at f/2.8 yet.  I think when they do it will be a bit smaller than the Canon ones, but maybe not as much as you're hoping.
