I use the kit lense that came with my old nikon d70s for years before investing in a real lense. imo any kit lense is going to out do the g11 in regular and night shot due to the sensor size in the camera alone. However I do feel G11 excels in macro shots. I don't have the money for a macro lens (cant not justify it cost to use it 2-3 times a year) and my G11 take macro with EASE and much better clarity in comparison to my kit lens. Another factor you might want to look at is the resale value. The resale value for g series has always been quite good so you can always flip it later if you decide to upgrade. If you have the patience to learn and to invest in a good tripod, the g11 can make amazing pictures for it size and cost, just search on flickr. imo the best camera is the one you always have with you.

PS: the flip viewfinder is a real bonus, I'm not able to take pictures I otherwise wouldn't be able being short and all lol
