We compared these 3 fantastic cameras. All of them in the region of 40 megapixels.
First comparison of the centre of the frame:
They are all pretty close but Hasselblad produced the finest detail here. Leica shows very slight moire and the Nikon is a little blurred compared to the others.
Next another sample somewhere in the middle:

This time there seems to be even less between them but the point goes to the Leica.
Next one is a sample from the very edge:

This one was an easy one. Point to Leica.
Unfortunately all of them can produce moire when shooting very fine patterns.
Notice the coloured artefacts around George Washington's head:

The Nikon seem to be the least affected but this is probably because it produces the least resolution. This is quite common in high-end cameras and happens when the pattern reproduced on the photo is finder than the pixel pattern on the sensor.
Lower end cameras often have anti-aliasing filters to prevent that. These filters blur the image slightly and may cause deterioration of detail.
Next the ISO comparison:

Next the ISO comparison:
This is no surprise, the CMOS sensor in the Nikon is far better at high ISO than the CCD in the other cameras.
We have compared these three for image quality only.
They are all slightly different cameras.
The Nikon is great for sports and action it produces slightly less resolution but is very quick and performs great at high ISO.
The Leica is an excellent landscape and nature camera, weatherproofing is very useful when out and about and the colour and detail reproduction is stunning.
The Hasselblad is a studio tool. It is a modular system which works very well when tethered to a computer.
