Is the olympus pen e pl9 good for beginners?

Yes, I think the E-PL9 is a good first camera. It's a beginner PEN with a 16.1-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, in-body stabilisation, a flip-down selfie screen and 4K video. Micro Four Thirds also has a huge range of lenses, so you can grow into it without changing systems.

For an everyday setup, I'd start with the Panasonic Lumix G 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II for a small, simple walk-around lens. If you want one lens for travel, the Panasonic Lumix G 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 covers more range. Once you know what you like to shoot, the Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 is a cheap prime that frames like 50mm on full frame.

Every current camera from a major brand is good, so hold one in a shop if you can. For more on choosing, see Your first camera.
