So who needs an expensive Digital SLR camera? Anyone who takes pictures for a living would not be able to live without one these days. Anyone who is a photography hobbyist and interested in taking better, more professional photos. Anyone who doesn't mind carrying around a bigger camera on trips and such in order to bring back top of the line photos.
The truth is, most of us are served quite well by a $300 or $400 5MP or 7MP point and shoot digital camera - you get the convenience of a small camera you can throw in your pocket, you get instant review capability to check for blinks or blurs, and you get high resolution images that can easily be printed at 11x17 sizes, and you get acceptably good photos under almost all conditions.
As with all electronic and computerized gadgets, digital cameras tend to get better and cheaper over time, so much of the high end functionality of DSLRs will eventually migrate down to consumer cameras - quick response time, ability to take bursts of 10 frames in a few seconds, higher resolution image sensors, quick, accurate auto-focus, etc. The only thing that won't change are the laws of optics - you can't get the same kind of results from a fingernail-sized lense as you can from the larger, professional lenses. So start with your photography needs first, then consider budget, then consider quality available at that price.

So, if you're starting photography for hobbies, do get your self some good but cheap dlsr body and spend more on lens. Experience a lot of range of lens so you will knew what type of photographer are you.
