This has been mainly answered. You can get the same field of view, by centering the subject and cropping all sides, as shown. Essentially you're converting your m4/3 sensor to a lower resolution, smaller compact sensor. It will look like the same image, but it will not have the same resolution - so technically won't be the same image.

that I have read on this board others suggesting that if you take that cropped image and blow it back up to 8 x10" through some sort of majic the DOF changes as well.

I don't believe it but some here do.
