This looks like a great little vlogging lens for medium sensor cameras like the 80D. In theory. Because 10-18mm is 16-29mm equivalent, which is wide enough. And it is light weight, has stabilization and a silent step motor, all desirable features for any video work. But in practice I found this lens just too slow (in terms of aperture) for general vlogging purposes. Unless you want your face very deformed, you end up using it in the 14mm and above range, where the aperture drops to f/5.6. Meaning all indoor footage turns out either extremely grainy or under exposed. Even at 10mm and f/4.5 its still quite dark. So unless you are planning to vlog in full daylight only, I can not recommend this lens. For photography its not even worth considering, it is not a particularly sharp lens and the step motor offers no benefit in photography. In the same price range you can get an older model lens, with USM motor (or no motorized AF at all), but sharper glass and/or more aperture instead. For a really cheap vlogging solution on Canon APS-C cameras, get the Canon 24mm f/2.8 pancake lens and screw a $15 wide angle converter lens on it. You will get a wide enough angle (just about), with blurry edges but good enough center focus. Enough to keep you going until you can afford the holy grail of APS-C vlogging, the weather sealed Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 AF.
