Does anyone know if there is a battery grip available?

The spec sheet does not seem to have all the exposure modes listed. On the photo there appears to be a TAv and Sv mode available also. What are the U1 and U2 modes - user programmed 'default' modes?

Let’s hope it's not too massive a price tag as Nikon are rumoured to be releasing a D600 FF "entry level" body.K3 (or other more random name) - AdvancedFullFrameAtMassivePriceTag
Existing Pentax owners will welcome a FF body, me included, as it allows the Ltd's to be used as designed as well as other lenses such as the shift and 15mm.
If it's too pricey, new FF users may be tempted elsewhere.
The K30 should be well accepted.
Best regards
Too far from a shore.

Ok, the kit lens, although uninspireing, can and does produce good images.
This Link was from a few years back.
Remember that Pentax have one of the best 18-55s out there, unlike canon, whos kit lens is so dire...
What makes the lens look poor is usually bad camera software, something Pentax excell at.
Let's hope thenew bodies carry on in this tradition.

Well, it has been launched, and I like it, it is a good looking camera and in my view the spec seems good for the intended audience.
100% viewfinder too eh?
Whilst I am tempted, I think I will wait and see what comes next....

looks like it will be around the £540 mark for body only and £570 with a DA L 18-55mm zoom lens. At todays conversion rate
mmmm K-5 or K-30 mmmmmm
info found here, yes its American mag but its a good ball park figure

i would add 100-150£ to those numbers to get anything resembling UK prices. I am assuming the magazine did a direct conversion using current exchange rates and ignorimg the fact that US quoted prices do not include VAT. So doubt the kit will go for anything less than £649 on launch
