Is the fujifilm x e1 good for beginners?

The X-E1 can work well as a first camera, but it's an older model. It was announced in 2012, and the body has no stabilisation, so pair it with a stabilised lens for slow shutter speeds. Its real strength is the Fujifilm X mount, which has a very large lens range to grow into.

For a sensible starting kit, I'd look at:

• Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS as an everyday zoom with stabilisation.
• Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR as a small, light prime for learning to see.

My advice in your first camera still holds: any current camera from a major brand is good, so handling and size matter more than the badge. If you want to save money, buying used is a good route.
