Could be a few things you can try before having to contact Canon customer support:

1. The good news is your camera has internal memory, say 10 mb, and your camera allows you to choose to store only internally if there's no card inserted. The bad news is that the camera allows you to choose ONLY internal memory, so the camera won't write to a card even if inserted.

2. The card has become corrupted for some reason, but if only 8 images consistently is the max, it still sounds more like #1 above. Try a different card.

3. The card is nearly full from prior data; make sure it is "erased" but before you do make sure you've saved any other images.

4. The rest of the card is filled with a video recording that is counted as "one" image and that goes on forever?

5. The camera is falsely reading the card as full. You might try resetting any preferences to the factory defaults (before you do write down any preferences you had made). That could be an internal firmware/software problem you'll have to address w/ Canon.

6. You have a camera that has an optical viewer (not through the lens) and a lens cap and you've taken pictures of the inside of your lens cap? (ie. take the lens cap off).

If none of the above resolve the issue, time to contact the dealer or Canon support.

Is the vivitar vivicam 8225 8.1 MP digital camera a good camera?

That all matters on opinion. I have that camera, and personally I do not like it. It has pretty good pictures if you take the time and hold still, but a lot of the pictures it takes comes out blurry. I've had it take very clear pictures occasionally, and I'm not sure if it's just me or if the camera's ability to take motion pictures(even the slightest bit of motion) sucks. I wouldn't recommend it if you're planning on using it to take clear and good quality pictures though.
