Yep. No SLR lense should be without a UV as a permanent fixture. Cheap protection. A polariser is the only other filter that I consider a must have - but you dont want it on all the time. Also a good one is not cheap!! Very good for blue skies and foliage, and for defeating glare in all sorts; but in the absence of glare cuts at least 1 - 1.5 stops of exposure, and sometimes you want all the light you can get.
Unfortunately I've never owned a lense where fitting one filter on top of another doesnt create cropping at wide angle; so to avoid that you have to take the UV off and put the polarizer on.
Another good tip when looking for a non-slr is - make sure it has a nice wide angle end of the zoom. Many boast long zooms now but not so wide at the other end, often 35mm!! But others are available down to 28mm, which makes a big difference for those landscapes!
