I bought the camera as a kit, because I thought I'll be quite clear with the "small" lens. The case would have been enough. I wanted a good holiday camera that is not too expensive. Since I anyway usually watch through the viewfinder, because to me, the live image is too lame, I chose this camera because I anyway do not need a vari-angle display. Value for money good. For this purpose I have bought the 18-200mm lens from Sigma. The camera does not have any gimmicks, but you never used as a gag anyway again only at the beginning and then.
