Depends on if you know which lens you'd rather have than the 18-55 kit (assuming that's the lens you're talking about). The kit lens is inexpensive (most lenses are in the $300-$1000 range), and good-enough quality for a beginner, and particularly for vacation snaps of landscapes and people. It's a great lens to learn on, but you will probably eventually replace it at some point. If you know what lens you want, then skipping the kit lens is a good idea. But if you have no prior experience of lenses, the 18-55 is a cheap way to get enough experience to figure out what you want.
