Yes it includes the kit lens. Thank you.

It will take about 7-9 shots in a fast burst. But will cause a 15-30 second delay while it writes. Which is much better then it was at launch. No point in having a card faster than about 40mb/s which is about as fast as it can write.

Sadly the NX20 was never updated to write to the card while shooting. It will fill the buffer up and then write, it starts writing after a short delay between shots (which is long enough that I can fill the buffer just shooting normally)

I love the NX20. It frustrates me at times but that is more because I out grew it.

the Focus system is Contrast Detect and is a few years old. As long as you aren't expecting more than the system can offer (at fish eye likely you won't have an issue) you should be fine.
