Is the canon ef s 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 is stm good for video?

Yes, it's a sensible starting point for video, with a couple of caveats. It's stabilised and has autofocus, which helps when you shoot handheld. The aperture drops from f/3.5 to f/5.6 as you zoom, so it's fine in daylight but you'll want more light indoors.

Framing is the bigger issue for vlogging. On an APS-C body it starts at about 29mm full-frame equivalent, which is tight at arm's length. My video guide suggests a wider view, around 16-20mm equivalent. Sound is also up to you, since this lens does nothing for audio, so read the audio section before you shoot anything important.

It fits many Canon APS-C bodies, including the Canon EOS 80D and Canon EOS 90D. For the full specs, see the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM page.
