Is the fujifilm x100s good for beginners?

The X100S is a lovely camera, but I'd call it a niche first camera rather than an easy recommendation. Its 23mm lens frames like 34mm on full frame, so you can't zoom, and it has no stabilisation. It's a good fit if you like the idea of learning by moving your feet and you enjoy handling a camera with proper dials. The hybrid viewfinder is a real pleasure to use.

If you want one camera that covers a lot of situations, a body you can add lenses to will serve you better. Your first camera explains what to weigh up, and the travel page shows where a fixed-lens compact like this makes the most sense. If you do want an X100 series, buying used is the sensible way to get one.
