Is the sigma 19mm f 2 8 dn art good for video?

The Sigma 19mm f/2.8 DN Art is a cheap, light wide prime with autofocus, which suits handheld video. But on Sony E it frames like 28mm on full frame. The video guide suggests roughly 16-20mm full-frame equivalent for arm's-length vlogging, so this lens will feel tight in selfie shots. It works better for filming a scene from a step back. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like 38mm, which is tighter still.

The lens isn't stabilised, so a stabilised body will help keep handheld footage steady. Two APS-C bodies from its list to consider are the Sony ZV-E10 II and the Sony a6700. Whatever you pick, plan for sound too. The audio section covers the options.
