Is the pentax k 70 good for beginners?

The Pentax K-70 is a solid choice for a beginner. It's a weather-sealed DSLR with a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, in-body stabilisation, and a flip-out screen, which helps when you're learning to shoot from awkward angles. Like every current camera from a major brand, it's good, so the real question is whether its size, handling and lens range suit you. Hold one if you can, as I suggest in Your first camera.

For an everyday kit, I'd start with the Pentax smc DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR. It's weather-resistant and covers most early shooting. If you want more range, the Pentax HD DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR is a good all-rounder. Buying used can save money, as explained in Buying used.
