Is the canon eos 6d mark ii good for beginners?

The EOS 6D Mark II is a sensible choice for a beginner, though not an obvious one. It's a full frame DSLR with 26.2 megapixels, and it has no stabilisation in the body, so pick lenses with IS (image stabilisation) for slow shutter speeds. Full frame gives you a wide, clean view, as explained on the sensor sizes page.

Its real strength is the lens choice. Canon EF mount has a huge range, and you can grow into it. Good starting points include:

• Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM for everyday walking-around shooting
• Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM as a cheap, fun portrait lens
• Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM if you want to shoot wildlife or sport

Every major brand's current camera is good, so check your first camera and hold it before you buy. If you want to save money, look at buying used.
