i think that adding the filter to the lens would be a good idea while still learning the camera.
i keep one on all of my lenses bc im not the only one that uses the camera. my gf uses it and sometimes my friends will use it (with me supervising).
my gf has left it on the floor before and i didnt notice until something hit the lens, but i had the uv filter on it, so the lens didnt get hit with it.
from what i have read the sensor is still sensitive to uv rays, it was explained to me that the sensor is like your eye, yes you can look directly into the sunlight, but theres going to be consequences.
i rarely shoot directly in the direction of the sun, but sometimes, theres no other choice, or its what makes the picture.
either way, i would put one on while you are learning the camera and how to car for it.
chances are your pics arent going to be what you want them to be until you learn the camera so that cheap piece of glass in front of your expensive lens wont do you any harm.
heres a forum i suggest to anybody thats looking to do/learn photography, i have learned a lot from this site, there are a lot of professionals that are regulars on this site and have no problem helping out noobs.
