I concur. Pictures in the article do not back the story up.
OTOH, best skintones I ever saw were captured either on film or on CCD sensors. CMOS ones I also have in my Flickr's favs, but they are usually bold, with vivid colors and high contrast. And on film or CCD they could be quite subtle. And that's the quality I like.
This one was shot by me on D200:

This one was shot by one of the few colleagues of mine that share my passion to old CCD cameras. This particular photo was taken on Fujifilm S3 Pro, but he also shoot on S5 Pro, Kodak DCS 760, Kodak SLR, Kodak Pro Back, Phase One P25+ and some others. In the past he has a lot of CMOS cameras, but now the only CMOS I see from his current pictures is Kodak SLR.
This one was shot by another colleague with passion to old CCD cameras. He shoot with Mamiya 645 and Kodak Pro Back exclusively now and also has same experience with CMOS cameras in the past but returned to CCD only.

And as for "Portra Look" I dare to say that D200 is quite close sometimes.
