They don't make memory that big yet.

If Chris Hedemark's 40 GB hard drive is too small for it, how could
a couple gigs of memory be enough? (Unless you mean flash memory, in
which case the answer is that it's too slow. EEPROM writes slower
than disk writes slower than RAM.)

That'd be fine if you only had one running at a time, but if you're
filming something live (like, say, a wedding), you probably want to
cover a couple of angles at all times and splice it together later.
