Everything you said is true. The sensor being smaller in the D-SLRs, there is a Field of View (FOV) crop. While the image magnification stays the same, effectively, the image you achieve is a crop. This crop is defined by the dimensions of the sensor vis-a-vis a standard 35mm film negative. So for Canon D-SLRs, the FOV crop is 1.6x/1.3x and for Nikon, it's 1.5x.
If you want better telephoto zoom, get a longer lens, not a FOV camera. For wide-angle, like Dave mentioned, the D-SLRs come up short. You need to get ultr-wide angle (for example Canon EF-S 10 -22mm) to get an equivalent FOV of a 35mm film/full-frame camera.
