H3DII-50, HTS 1.5 with HCD 28mm, ISO 50. Picture is cropped to reduce image height (non-proportional).

The colors from the H3DII-31 are rendered correctly at all ISO settings. The colors from the Canon and Nikon ameras show a clear c color shift in everal colors. s

Nikon D3X, Nikkor TS24, ISO100. The image shot with the Nikon camera, shows some unnatural saturation whereas the H3DII image show the original colors of the scene.
The H3DII image has detail all over the mage area and i thanks to the automatic Digital Lens Correction in P hocus, there is no visible chromatic a berration or distortion in the image.
The Nikon image has clearly less d etail and also show some heavy chromatic aberration which cannot easily be corrected for as it is not symmetrical when the lens is shifted.

Actual test target (100cm 75cm) and sample MTF diagram. The MTF diagram shows the lens performance from the center of the image to the edge as indicated by the two yellow dotted lines.
The photo on this page was shot with a state-of-the art 35 mm DSLR system comprising a 21.1 megapixel body and a f1.2/50 mm lens at ISO 100. The aperture stopped down to f2.0.
The easily visible red fringe running along the line of the shoulder proves that contrast of fine detail is undoubtedly compromised by lateral chromatic aberration.
The rendition of low contrast detail in the corner of the image is suffering from the general drop in contrast near the edge of the image circle.
Sharpness isnt just compromised near the edges of the image. The antialiasing filter in front of the sensor is placing an upper limit on the resolution of lens and sensor combined.
The photo on this page was shot with an H3DII-31 with an HC 80mm lens at ISO 100. The aperture was stopped down to f2.8 to obtain the same depth of field as the 35 mm DSLR systems.
The advantage of a higher resolution sensor continues to be visible even near the corners of the image, due to much better edge sharpness of the Hasselblad lens.
The high contrast of fine detail that the lens delivers can be fully exploited as there is no anti-aliasing filter limiting the resolution. Moir artifacts are eliminated by the moir tool in Phocus.

Fundamental advantages
Larger sensors and higher resolution
Medium-format CCDs are more than twice as large as 35 mm sensors.
