it's because manufacturers completely changed the type of sensors in cameras around the D3 era. Before that, everything was CCD. After, it was CMOS. A lot of it is stupid nostalgia for an era before a lot of the posters on this board were old enough to own a camera, which bums me the fuck out as a young man of 35 years. And a lot of that nostalgia is propped up by bloggers who write these effusive, ethereal articles about how "you can just see it, you know?" as an attempt to offload some of their old inventory.
