I have a Sony Mavica CD500 and want to upgrade. I primarily take photos of my 3-year-old, but I also do some portraits and landscapes and shots in low or natural light or at night, so I need a good flash, stabilization, fast shutter, no lag time between shots, and good overall low-light speed and quality. I want something fast with good lenses so I can increase zoom and angles, yet fairly easy to use. Here are my questions:
1) I'm looking at the Nikon D80 and the Canon 20D or 30D, or possibly the Canon Rebel: Which would be best?
2) What lenses should I start with? Most of my shots will be close, but with the occasional long-distance shots that need a decent zoom length. I also do macro shots from time to time.
3) All these cameras have viewfinders. My Mavica shoots strictly from the LCD, so I've gotten used to that. Is it possible to shoot from either the viewfinder OR the LCD on these cameras?
