Is the sony e 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 oss good for vlogging?

The Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a reasonable vlogging lens, but not an ideal one. It's stabilised, which helps when you're walking and talking, and it's easy to use. The problem is focal length. On APS-C it frames like 27-82mm on full frame, so at 18mm you're tighter than the 16-20mm full-frame equivalent I like for arm's-length shooting. Stabilisation crops in further, so you'll feel that squeeze.

If you already have a Sony E-mount APS-C body, it's a sensible starting point for talking-head shots from a step back. For a proper vlogging setup, look for a video-focused body such as the Sony ZV-E10 or the ZV-E10 II, and pair it with a wider lens. Read what makes a good vlogging camera before you buy, and don't skip sound. See audio.
