Sony A450 to be released in 2 days?

Sony A450, but is it real? Sony will hold a press conference in two days @ CES, then we will know for sure. Previous rumors indicated that the A450 will not have video and it will be announced at CES. If that rumor was correct, we should also see a A700 replacement during CES (also without video).
