Two trusted sources confirmed that Olympus will announce a new High End compact camera in October. It will look like the an OMD (has integrated EVF) but feature a much smaller sensor. The smaller sensor will allow the camera to have a compact 28-300mm zoom. Basically it’s a sort of mini portable OMD…just a bit bigger than the [shoplink 42073 ebay]OMD keychain you can find on eBay[/shoplink] :)

I also got some info about a second high-end compact with FT sensor. But that camera could be announced a couple of months later…
