I think all kit lens should be in this focal length.

You know when you start off photography you don't know what you like to shoot, you don't know what focal length you are most comfortable with, you want to shoot at home, your family, your friends, the garden bird, the cat the plane. You want it all, this is perfect. 1 lens to do everything. Sod the 18-55mm, which is like 24-70, not long enough!

They should be package with one of these bad boys.

A 28-350mm f/3.5-5.6, which is the same aperture as the kit lens, perfect.

I am right, right? :D
 
It's an ok lens on a crop camera as you don't get the vignetting issue that you do with a full frame. Significantly better than the 35-350 it replaced, sharper, less distortion.
BUT. how often do you need that range. the 24-105 on a full frame, or 15-85 EFS on a crop is a much better option because of weight, size and you don't often need extreme range on a walkabout.
If you want something with that range, I'd look at something like the Panasonic Lumiz TZ80 with it's 30x optical zoom
 
Hmmm. My first DSLR was a Canon 300D and the first lens I used was a 28-300mm. Coming from film I couldn't quite work out why 28mm wasn't all that wide any more :D I should have read up more but those were the early digital years for me but I did take some of my favourite pictures with that lens.

I now have a 1" compact with a 25-250mm lens and there's no denying it's very useful.
