not really.... just try stuff.... you can always return it or sell it on ebay.... the kit lenses are not fun indoors in the dark with no flash...
I'd really say get a camera body, get a 50mm 1.8 lens, shoot a ton, learn a bunch, shoot RAW if can spare the time processing....
Weddings and concerts are actually demanding on high ISO performance, almost any camera can give nice images in the hands of somebody good in bright sunlight....
If you really plan to shoot weddings for cash, I'd also get a bouncable flash, learn how to bounce it off walls and cielings, and/or handheld reflectors, the results can be amazingly un-flash-looking once you're good at bounce flash....
In any case, if you're shooting a LOT of weddings and concerts, you may want to rent a higher end zoom, like a 70-200 F2,8 stabilized lens if you have to shoot from far away in the dark.... these are often $35 for a weekend... worth it in my opinion sometimes rather than forking over $2200 for a lens like that....
- the kit lenses are okay for wedding group shots outdoors in the shade....vaxorcist
