Yeah, I love the NX500 also. In fact, I regard the kit 16-50 PZ with a little more high regard than you do. Right now, in addition to acquiring Samsung cameras where you can, I also suggest to folks to pick up an extra 16-50 PZ or two while you can. Right now they are selling for a pittance from this outstanding vendor on eBay (out of Korea - 100% rating). I've ordered several items from him - a few cameras and lenses (along with an additional 16-50 PZ) and I've absolutely delighted with this vendor.

Get 'em while you can.... Check here.

I think that you've convinced me to order #2. I recently discovered that with this lens on an NX500 as the focal length changes, it's displayed in the upper left corner of the LCD. None of my other Samsung lenses do this and none of my other NX bodies (NX300, NX30, and more) do it with this PZ lens. I'd assume that the NX1 also does this but I'm not about to spend big bucks on any more Samsung gear to find out. Is this factoid generally known here?
