Is the canon ef s 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 iii worth it?

Yes, for most people starting out. This is the unstabilised kit zoom that comes with the cheapest Rebels. It covers 18mm for wide scenes up to 55mm for portraits and closer subjects, which is enough to learn on.

Be honest about the limits. It has no stabilisation, and the maximum aperture drops from f/3.5 to f/5.6 as you zoom in, so it struggles in dim rooms. If you want image stabilisation, compare the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and the IS II. It fits APS-C bodies such as the Canon EOS 80D and Canon EOS 90D. For the bigger question of whether to move to full frame, see Sensor sizes.
