I recently bought a 2x original manufacturer teleconverter for it for less than $50 US. Admittedly, optical quality isn't the greatest even without the TC on this camera, but there is a noticeable degradation with the TC, probably due to the low-quality glass. The manufacturer also offers a 0.7 wide angle converter for a relatively low price, too, but I imagine the optical quality also isn't great. Oh yeah... since this is a P&S camera, the converters screw onto the *front* of the lens.
