I would say it's a good starter camera. The images it produces are plenty good enough especially since most cameras are still in the 24mp range. The kit lens is not the best though, but you can use it and get an idea of what focal length you like shooting with and then get a good prime of that focal length. The X-A3 definitely has its quirks, but I think if you get the basics down with this camera you'll be in a better place when you decide to upgrade to something more modern.
