Is the leica cl good for beginners?

The Leica CL is a good camera for a beginner who wants a small, dial-driven body with a built-in viewfinder. It's a 24-megapixel APS-C mirrorless camera, and it has no stabilisation in the body, so you'll want a stabilised lens for slow shutter speeds. Its L-Mount takes a huge range of lenses, which matters more than the body for a first camera. For an everyday kit, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary covers a lot, and the Leica Vario-Elmar-TL 18-56mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH is a simpler option.

I don't cover the CL's price here, so check that before you buy. If cost is the main worry, the Olympus PEN E-PL9 is the beginner-friendly PEN on this site, with a flip-down selfie screen and 4K video.

Every current camera from a major brand is good, so pick the one that feels right in your hand. Start with the Leica CL page, then read your first camera. If you want to save money, buying used is worth a look.
