EPM2 with kit lens, please help

I would really like to buy an Oly EPM2 with the 18-55II R kit lens, but am concerned I will be dissatisfied with the kit lens based on many reviews I've read. I don't print much and basically view my images on my new 27" IMAC and my retina display iPad, as well as share with friends. I shoot mostly landscapes, cityscapes, and closeups of flowers.

How well does the camera/lens do on this type of photography (JPEGs SOOC with minimal PP)?

My primary camera I use for my travels is my LX7, which does an very acceptable job in almost all circumstances. Can the Oly EPM2 with kit lens perform at this level or hopefully above?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Joel

Here are a few examples from my LX7
