Digital BW, The Print

I have lately gotten into Black and White Pics. It is amazing how just switching a mundane color pic to B&W can give that pic a completely different personality. It doesn't work with every picture but some of them just look better in B&W. 

My question is, does the B&W function on the camera (I use an Olympus 3030z) give you the same picture as you would get if you used your Camedia or other editing software to change the color pic to B&W?

Thanks for your help.
