If you bought a camera mainly to take pictures of your children, take pictures at parties or indoor portraits, you should consider a fast fixed lens. This will allow you to shoot in low light while also getting a great depth-of-field effect.
The key here is to look for a lens in the 50mm to 85mm range with a low f-number.
