An *ist brochure can be downloaded from Pentax Canada: http://www.pentaxcanada.com/products/pdf/ist_eng.pdf
At the last page, it shows an *ist with the new BG-20 battery pack/hand grip. Looks very stylish indeed.
To those who complains about cheap build quality etc. - the *ist is entry level. Not pro-level nor mid-market. It's not more plastic, not more cheaply built, than Nikon F/N 75, Minolta Dynax/Maxxum 5 or Canon EOS 300 V.
And to those who judge Pentax future cameras and lenses by the entry level *ist and FAJ - it's not fair to Pentax. Different market segments needs different products. I see no reason to fear that the upcoming high-end versions of the *ist lacks support for aperture ring.
Best wishes Roland
