Is the olympus om d e m5 good for beginners?
The original OM-D E-M5 is a good choice for a beginner who wants a small, weather-sealed camera with five-axis stabilisation. It's an older model, so the newer Mark II and Mark III are worth a look too. If you want something simpler, the OM-D E-M10 is the first entry-level OM-D, with three-axis stabilisation.
For a first lens, I'd start with a basic zoom such as the OM System M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III. Every current camera from a major brand is good, so don't overthink it, and buying used can save you money.
