Still appreciate the color fidelity (and 3D Pop) of Nikon's trusty old D100 CCD to this day.

It looks oversaturated and unnatural to me. Also, I didn't realise that sensors could display 3D pop. I guess you're going to try to explain, but I won't be listening...

Well, the colors are certainly different from modern Nikon's that's for sure!

The short answer as to why sensors matter in rendering 3D Pop is that they record color microcontrast which is a visual cue for rendering depth. The stronger the CFA, the better the microcontrast as demonstrated here.
