A few points:
If you're worried about the 24-70, I don't think you're going to be happy with the 24-240. Seriously. The superzoom is a mediocre lens.
The 50 f/1.8 has a very flawed AF system for 2017. It's loud, it's slow, and it can end up hunting in difficult situations or moderate light. A real pity, because the imaging characteristics and size of the lens are great. This one is already screaming for a $349 mk2 w/ a new AF design.
If you want to stay small, primes are a good way to go. The 28mm f/2 is great for your needs-- fast AF, great central resolution from wide aperture, nice colors. The Sony 85mm f/1.8 is also a great choice, even better if you can wait for a used copy to show up. You can always add a w/a adaptor to the 28. ...Show more →
the superzoom is very decent for what it is, same with the 50, which has had firmware updates for AF speed, which I didnt see as such a huge issue when shooting my kids. It's definitely not FE 55 speed, but it's in between that and the canon 85L. Saying it's loud is like saying the 85GM is loud.... that was kind of overblown when it first came out.
attached are some samples, no sharpening added, and while I understand they arent as sharp as primes or high end zooms I have, I dont want to fiddle with changing lenses when I'm pushing a stroller when taking these shots
