When your camera would have 20 Megapixel you would already have problems. I only have 500MB memory + 3GB swap space on a linux laptop. I also can work with documents up to about 30 pages (16 pages already take 12 minutes to load!). But in the end my picture-book should have 500 images and 160 pages. So I had to break it up and concat the different PDF's (with Adobe Acrobat). It will probably not be possible to produce this even on your machine - at least not with "professional" speed.
