Dareshooter say's

"To be honest unless you absolutely need the constant 2.8 aperture the Canon 18-55 STM is every bit as good optically and you also have the advantage of STM if you should ever shoot video. The Money you'd save by getting the Canon in a kit would buy you a Canon 55-250 STM right away and you'd then have a huge focal range covered starting out."

+1

If you start out with an 18mm to 250 mm range you will soon find out the type of photography you enjoy the most and in time you can add the premium lenses to your arsenal that suites you.

Happy shooting.
