The camera I'm looking to buy comes with a "Sigma af 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 ex dg"
Will this do the job?
My documentary influences are Nick Broomfield, Louis Theroux and the dude who made Hated: The GG Allin Story.

Lads, a decent lapel mic for interviews? The lad I bought the cam off said I could get one for a tenner but they look about 50 online.
Also. General scenes. Will probably have music dubbed over with my own deep-voiced magic on top, but otherwise will the camera's inbuilt mic do?
I intend my first project to be in a homeless shelter my pal works in.
Homelessness is hot right now.
If you can't afford a good mic or separate audio recorder,
.
...Rode Video mic.
Can also recommend the Zoom H4N audio recorder but you will need to sync the audio and video in editing.
Can recommend these as I use them but other brands / models etc are available that will no doubt do the job as well.

for helpful info and check out sites like cinema5D for more info.
Also , if you are happy to tinker with firmware , worth reading up on Magic Lantern and deciding if it's something you may find useful too.
Good luck and come back and post links to your vids when done - btw - just practice a lot, you will learn quickly if you want too.
Hope that helps.
