Guys, this post intrigued me so last night, I played around with the 1.6 and 2.0x TC settings.  I found that yes, it was effective but I saw no difference in quality between using the converter setting or just taking a regular picture at max optical zoom and then cropping out the area of interest so it was the same size as the TC enabled image.  Other than saving a step, wouldn't you rather just take a picture without TC enabled and that way all the information is present in case you later decide you don't wish to crop the area of interest or maybe crop to a lesser degree?

I was not impressed with regular non TC digital zoom.

Since the 1.6x teleconvertor is important to you, you might want to assign it to one of the assignable buttons. I have it currently assigned to the Ring Func. button where I can toggle between Off, 1.6x and 2.0x.
