Yes—buy the Sony A6700 as a beginner if you want a camera you can grow into and you’re comfortable paying more than a basic starter camera. It’s a strong beginner-to-enthusiast choice because it can handle everyday photography, portraits, landscapes, travel, and video/vlogging without feeling limiting quickly.

I would not buy it if your main goal is the cheapest way to learn photography. In that case, a less expensive APS-C camera or a used/refurbished body plus a good lens may be smarter, because lenses matter a lot for image quality and creative options.

Best beginner buying advice: get the A6700 body with a versatile starter lens, then learn exposure, autofocus modes, and composition before buying lots of extra gear.
