Well, he is a Nikon Pro. According to his website, he went digital in
2003 when he ****fted from using an F5 and his body of choice is a D2x.
I'm guessing he hasn't gotten around to updating the "Yngve's Bag"
page.
The only cameras he mentions on his blog are Nikons. That makes sense,
seeing as how he's a Nikon Pro and all. He even wrote a D80 review for
Nikon.no, but the link is dead. It's moved to www2.nikon.se/kampanj/.
And if you review the video again you'll discover he was comparing the
D3 to the D2. At 5:34 he says,
What I discovered was even better than what I was
hoping for. It wasn't just a minor adjustments from the
D2x - the difference is huge. Huge. Huge.

How do you know this? He doesn't mention it in the video or his blog.

Go ahead, rip a page out of Rander's playbook ... if the facts don't
exist, make 'em up. Would love to be around when someone throws away a
300/2.8L.
