Im new to photography and im thinking of investing in a Fuji S5500 as vibrio has recommended it in threads that i have read. im clueless when it comes to all of the ins and outs of how to get quality looking photos like some that i have seen on here. I have read the thread that vibrio made but i think i need more of a beginners guide as it jumps right into some technical jargon. any links or websites would be appreciated.
i've found the camera on dabs for around 180 quid, but thought i may need a tripod too to reduce camera shake? where's the best place to get a tripod and will i need any other accessories to get the most out of the camera?
Sorry about the essay

You mean the 30 day trial from Adobe and then getting a crack. If so I tried that and it killed my PC.
