In general this is what you can expect for using a 2x extender:

1. Lower max aperture-which may cause your camera's AF system to stop working, or at least perform worse.
2. Darker view finder
3. Loss of sharpness, especially at the corners
4. Loss of color contrast
5. Increase in color fringing and chromatic abberations.

The effects of the optical degradation will depend on the lenses you pair the 2x with (also some Canon lenses aren't directly compatible with the 2x TC, though there are "mods" that will allow it to work with many lenses).
