You can do portraits on both but only macro on one, then there's the AF

Yes except you're grossly misquoting me. We're not talking about future generations of camera sensor ten years down the line here, we're talking about a guy trying to capture the most important days of his family's life. Don't be so flippant.Sporgon said:lexaclarke said:Sharpness is the last thing to matter.
Is this the same lexaclarke who said how much sharper cameras are without an AA filter, and how anyone who wants one with must simply have not tried one without ?

Congrats! Solid choice, IMO.
You'll also enjoy the in-camera lens profiles with your selection, should you wish to save JPEGs in addition to or instead of RAW.

You'd shoot the hands and feet and some bubbles on the lips then be done with it. It's just too tight and slow. Focus will hunt indoors too. Once your baby is more mobile, it will struggle to keep up.
I personally love being close to my kids when photographing them, as my style is to be engaged with them playing to capture natural moments. The 35mm f/2 lens on a 7D body is great. Also the Sigma 18-35 1.8 is awesome in covering the "best" focal lengths on a crop body to engage with your kids. They both have really short minimum focusing distances too, so are super versatile for close up shots and full scene shots.
