Is the sony e 16 55mm f 2 8 g worth it?

Yes, if you shoot an APS-C Sony E camera and want one fast standard zoom. On APS-C it frames like 24-82mm on full frame, and f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/4.2, so backgrounds blur more than with a typical kit zoom. It isn't stabilised, so keep the shutter speed up when the light drops.

For native APS-C use, pair it with a Sony a6400, Sony a6600 or Sony a6700. On a full-frame body like the Sony a7 IV it only works in crop mode, which throws away resolution, so I'd choose a full-frame lens there instead. If you're still deciding between sensor sizes, Sensor sizes explains the trade-off.
