These are expensive cameras and lenses, and you should have a minimum level of understanding of the basics of photography before dropping serious coin on them. They aren't magical "take perfect picture" machines -- though there are automatic modes, if you don't know what you're doing, you'll probably get worse results than from one's mobile phone.
I'm not trying to gatekeep them or exclude anyone from learning -- but it'd be a dang shame for someone to drop hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and be disappointed with the end results only because they didn't take the time to understand what they were buying.

Sure, the more expensive models are better, but the R100 is plenty good to take amazing baby photos while learning serious photography skills. It's competitive with cameras that would have cost $1500+ six years ago.
Did you mean you want a lower f stop (wider aperture)?
Before you decide your kit lenses aren't good enough, try zooming all the way in at its widest aperture, you might be surprised how much background blur you already have.
That said, I know f/2.8 can be really pretty.

Edit: Did some more research and the 50 1.4 seems to have a weak design and is less sharp than the 50 1.8 so I'm thinking of not considering the 1.4 anymore. Has the added benefit of being half the price too lol.
