Is the leica tl2 good for beginners?

The TL2 can work well for a beginner, but it isn't the obvious pick. It has a touchscreen, a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor and 4K video. There's no stabilisation in the body, so you'll want stabilised lenses for slow shutter speeds. The real draw is the L-Mount, which gives you a wide range of lenses to grow into.

My rule for a first camera is to hold it before you buy. Size and handling matter more than specs. If it feels right, these are sensible starting lenses:

• Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary: a versatile everyday zoom.
• Leica Vario-Elmar-TL 18-56mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH: a lighter, simpler standard zoom.
• Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6: compact and easy to carry.

See Your first camera for how I'd choose, and the TL2 page for the full specs.
