This is not a tele converter, but a conversion lens (filter)!
As you know camera business more than any body else, how about the one made by Raynox (DCR 2015 Pro 2,2x) selling now at B&H for $233. I bought it several years before for $180 at B&H, I use it on my Panasonic bridge camera, it works very good,

The Raynox units cost more because they are made of glass, optics are better than the cheap plastic units but still offer so much fringing and distortion that they are never a good idea when compared to a lens itself without anything screwed onto the end of it. Your bridge camera has a very tiny sensor so it will be much less susceptible to the issues of these add on magnifiers than larger sensors are.
These units were originally designed and intended for video cameras, not still cameras.

I used this Raynox on my old Panasonic FZ50 for extract reach, not too bad, even shooting the Moon.
I have made some crazy experience of using some adapters for putting this Raynox in-front of my Nikon 300mmf4 and 70-210 f4 lens, the result were fine to me, only it appeared some chromatic aberration, that's easy to be corrected in LR.
Here are several images taken this morning:
Ist one was taken with my 300mm f4 Nikon AFs -D on my D200;
2nd one was crop from the 1st one;
3rd one was taken with the 2.2x lens on the 300mm. It shows some blue & red fringe, but can be corrected.
