As I am still waiting on my LCE adaptor, I was thinking about buying a teleconverter, but I do not have the foggiest idea how they perform, and weather they are worth the money. Also What power (magnification) will they give a CP4500? (for example waht will a 3x converter make the camera lens if it were a 35mm). Also is a tripod needed with them or ae they easier to use hand held?
If anyone uses converters can they give me thier names so I can check thier gallery pages.
Thanks for all the help.

These three photos above (which i belive you have seen before)were taken with the Nikon Coolpix 995 and the tc-e3ed (3x teleconvertor) it gives excellent results provided you can get close enough to the subject.
I have asked the 35mm equivalent question of Andy bright before who gave me a very informative answer, Unfortunately I have forgotten the exact details and calculations, I am also sure its been covered somewhere on the boards In the past, I'll let you know if I find the thread.

Cheers Richard, can you remember how close? I was thinking about the Eagle eye 5x converter, added onto a cp4500 at full optical zoom would give me equivalent of 775mm or 20x magnification which seems pretty good, I just wonder on the quality, but judging by your photos it will only be my poor photography to blame if things were not good.
