These arguments I always find a little misleading.  They leave out the 
fact you should buy external drives for back up, and those in 
redundancy.  You need a good fast computer or editing your photos will 
be painful.  You need software to edit those photos.  There is far more 
cost to digital than just the camera and all of that HAS to be 
considered also, IMHO.
