As Ron said mate, it's all about people. It's always good to be able to help someone whenever possible.
That 28 - 80mm lens will give you everything you need and will be a great one to leave on most of the time.
I'm sure you'll love the next stage of photography and the doors that a DSLR will open creatively.
And on top of that, there is a place to ask questions, should you need it.
Enjoy matey.
