No kit in the US, but I have the pancake zoom + E-PL7

The oly zoom is decent, but nothing to write home about. It's similar to the other kit zooms, but it is electric operation, which may or may not bother you.

Compared to the primes and pro zooms, you loose quite a bit of sharpness and color saturation, which is why I sort of regret purchasing mine. I only use it when I simply want to pocket the camera with no room for other accessories. Most of the time I have the oly 25mm f1.8 on my E-PL7.

E-PL7 IBIS works quite well--not as forgiving as the 5-axis in the other models, but pretty good. I think there is still a promotion for the E-PL7 going on too, if it's within your budget.
