For a little while now the 43rumors site has reported a "high end fixed lens" compact is coming from Olympus ... so I am thinking what they could be up to.
So factor in the business alignment with Sony my thoughts are:
Similar form factor to XZ-2 but probably with EVF, probably a bit bigger - please do not try to make it a pocket camera! For me a decent camera should have some "serious presence", not be a slippery, tiny gadget.
Sony 1" sensor like the RX100, to step up from the 1.7 sensor crowd and compete with Nikon V1, Canon GX-1
Toss on a miniaturized version of the renowned 12-60 4/3, starting at f1.8.
Could not care less about a swivel LCD because I would ten times rather have weather sealed construction.
My all-in-one, go everywhere with me, camera.
So now just wait until August-September to find out ...
