Olympus XZ-1: discontinued

It seems that in some shops Olympus XZ-1 is listed as "discontinued product". Anyway, the replacement of the XZ-1 is expected before Photokina - 2012 (within weeks). Olympus XZ-1 is very capable compact camera, and probably Olympus will keep the same design, and hence Olympus XZ-2 will get the same sensor as Panasonic LX7 which is slightly smaller than the sensor used in XZ-1 and LX5. But I still expect to see a compact camera from Olympus with 1' sensor, especially considering current popularity of Sony RX100 and expectation of public (~ demand for 1' sensors in compact cameras). Here is another link to useful lens comparison on dpreview.
