Is the panasonic lumix g85 good for beginners?

Yes, I think the Lumix G85 is a sensible first camera, especially if you buy it used. It's an older mirrorless body with a 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor and in-body stabilisation, and it's very cheap second-hand. Its main strength is the lens choice, since Micro Four Thirds has a huge range of lenses.

For a beginner, I'd start with the Panasonic Lumix G 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II as a light everyday zoom, or the Panasonic Lumix G 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 if you want more reach in one lens. Add the Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 for low light and portraits. Before you buy, read buying used.
