Camera recommendation for a new Dad

Steve - first, congratulations on the new baby! I think your list is reasonable, and that there are mid-priced cameras out there that meet the requirements on your list. If I were you, and I wanted shallow depth of field from a small camera for less than $600, I would get a Sony NEX-F3 with the kit lens for $599. This camera is pocketable - and will give you the same shallow DoF as an APS-C DSLR.
