Wrong. Format ALWAYS influences apparent DOF. Your statement is a bunch of pixel peeping hooey promulgated by experts who have never made a photograph. If this were true, all of the BS about wanting full frame sensors to get shallow DoF is wrong .. And the theory is demonstrably, easily observably wrong when the theory is tested by anyone who has a FourThirds, APS-C, and full-frame camera to experiment with.
I have all three and have observed that DoF differs format to format with the same lens, exactly in accordance with the traditional calculations of DoF published in "Basic Photography" by Focal Press circa 1958.
