Update: it seems that the camera shown on the picture is a Fujifilm FinePix HS10 with a removed lens:
Is this the rumored m4/3 EVIL camera from Fuji?
Picture taken from DChome forum – the Google translation is not very clear, if someone has a better one, please post in the comments. There is also a list of specs in the thread (after the break):

After the 120 MP APS-H-size CMOS sensor, Canon announced today that they developed the largest CMOS sensor sized at 202 x 205 mm or 7.95 x 8.07 in.
Everything seems to be back to normal. First some catching up on today’s events: Olympus announced the black E-P2 kit and two lenses that leaked yesterday.
NikonRumors.com is now online. It may take several hours until the server changes propagation is complete and all ISP have updated their routers. If you cannot access NikonRumors.com directly, try http://173.45.162.91. I am not going to discuss again the details of why NR went down, I did that already on Twitter and Facebook.
NikonRumors now has a new dedicated server and a new host (NationalNet). There could be some interruptions in the next few days, until I fine-tune the site.
Coming up next: Nikon files patents for a 80-400mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and a back illuminated sensor.
The picture says it all: tomorrow, August 31st, Olympus will announce a new E-P2 kit with black 17mm f/2.8 lens and black external flash.
Two lenses are also expected: new M.Zuiko ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 and M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6.
Olympus will then continue on September 14th with a new E-5:
Pentax is expected to announce at least one new DSLR camera and at least one prime lens plus two compact cameras on September 9th, 2010. There could be an additional announcement during, or just before Photokina.
Pentax is expected to announce new K-5 and K-r models and potentially a new EVIL camera for Photokina this year.
The previously rumored Distagon T* 1,4/35 ZE/ZF.2 lens will be announced this Wednesday according to this post on Facebook:
NikonRumors is temporarily down. I am moving to a new hosting company and a new server. I will be posting Nikon related updates (if any) here and on http://www.nikonrumors.net.

Olympus filed an interesting patent in Japan for removing water drops from a lens by using a vibrating front element:
Here are another four patents applications for the following Olympus m4/3 lenses (also filed in Japan):
