--On cnet.com they say "Sony has no plans to make lens converters for
the camera, and the warranty won't cover damage caused by
third-party attachments."
Sure would be nice to have a teleconverter to bump up that 7x.

But the 828 lens moves where the filter threads are (see Phil's review), so it's not clear that the new lens mechanism can support the Sony teleconverters.Chuck,
The new camera has the same 58mm thread that the F717/F707 does.
This mean that any Teleconverter which works for the F717 will also
work for the F828.

There is not Sony setting for a teleconverter. I think the converter lens setting is for the wide angle lens.Depends on the in-camera autofocus settings, if Sony puts a setting
that allows TC's or not has yet to be seen.

Here ... http://reviews.cnet.com/4505-6501_7-30474948.htmlThere seems to be some disagreement on this subject. Image
resourse says..
"Sony offers both wide-angle and telephoto converters as
accessories for the F828, which mount in front of the lens via the
58mm filter threads that line the inside lip of the lens barrel.
(The same thread diameter as the F717.)"

I wouldn't make any judgement based on CNET's opinions. From
reading their very short article, I don't sense that they even have
an F828 physically to look at. Anyone of us on this forum could
have written a much more informative article than the CNET one.
