I have no idea about what's the least expensive body, but aside from the obviously high-end PZ-1, I know that on the ZX-10 the user can set aperture from the body in the way you describe as well as having the option of using the aperture ring. I'm *guessing* that the "cheapie" ones that don't allow you to set the aperture on the lens -- ZX-50, -30 and I think there was another one, maybe - 60? -- have metered manual modes in which you would be setting the aperture from the body.
