A reader just sent me a link to the first pictures of the new Olympus XZ-compact camera (via Tinypic). We also have been told by other sources that the sensor size will not change. It will use a similar [shoplink 19904]Olympus XZ-1[/shoplink] sized sensor and not a larger 1 inch sensor like you see on the Sony RX100 camera. But this is going to be a real nice camera and as you see form the picture you can even customize the grip like you do on the [shoplink 23568]Olympus E-P3[/shoplink]!
UPDATE: One more pic of the front of the 15mm m43 lens at mu-43.com
