Yeah it takes a few hours now for them to go into the system. I think they have to review them or somthing before they are accepted and available.

It works now.

But how are the pictures? I can't imagine that lens produces very sharp images. The camera is now the size of a dSLR with few of the advantages. :)

But is looks cool, I'll give you that. I like gizmos.

So Bower,

I still can't see the &$%%@ video. I have Flash installed but it keeps saying I don't. Anyway, you'd mentioned you were going to get one of those GYRO VIDEO LENS. Is that the same one you're talking about here?

Thanks,

Phased

Do a search on youtube. You should find it, its called One touch telephoto and wide should be under cameras, lenses.

Its working for me, it just takes a bit to post.

Where did you buy this from?

I got it from e-bay, ive been buying a bunch of random "teleconverters" off e-bay this was one i found that has really good quality. I like it because i wouldnt have to change to a different lens if i wanted wide.

I dont think its so much the "quality" but the lens just fits this camera good. I think alot of the lenses on e-bay are good quality but they dont all match the camera.

Im starting to think the glass in the converter needs to match the lens its going on. Thats the tricky part. You can either get the canon one or get somthing different.

About 5 of these lenses work good on my camera. The others dont seem to match it to good.

They all seem to work for my canon A70, it doesnt seem to be as picky about the lenses as the S2. Maybe because the zoom is already so extreme on the S2?
