Now you've got the Sony you'll be wanting to look at other lenses, could I recomment the
old minolta 35 to 105 which is about the same as a 50 to 155 on 35mm, it's a lens you
can get fairly cheaply on ebay and is far sharper and bettr quality than the stock lens,
however the stock lens is great for macro and wide shots so is worth keeping, I would
avaid the 20 to 35 minolta lens, for some reason it's pin sharp on my dynax 7 film camera
but a bit too soft on my A100, the 100 300 lens id also compact, affordable and very
usable for the A100, this is about a 150 to 450 on 35mm so gives you plenty of zoom.

If you want a bright, colourful image you go for the Panasonic, if you want a true colour
with more realistic flesh tones you go for the Leica. Both cameras suffer from noise unless
you stay at 80 or 100 ISO, Both cameras are a little slow on RAW or TIFF setting but bear
in mind that on both cameras you have a Leica lensed point and shoot with either 8 or 10
megapixels depending on model, This is the same as having a disposable film camera
with Fuji Velvia in it. On the whole they are both great cameras for what they are. I've
had pin sharp 20inch by 30inch prints done on a panasonic LX1 that are now on the walls
of my local town hall. The point of these cameras is that as with any camera it's only any
good if you have it with you, these are as almost as good as a DSLR but will fit in your
pocket.
Sony A100 or Canon 400D

Yes, the 50mm would be about a 75mm on your digital, it would make a fantastic portrait
lens.
