yes, you can use ezP without ImageMagick. ImageMagick is used to scale/convert images. Without ImageMagick, your site will not have any images/photos.
If your webhoster has the GD-module of PHP, then you should be abled to have images without ImageMagick, as GD can do the image manipulation.
So: ImageMagick OR GD = images No ImageMagick AND no GD = no images ;)
If you use GD, you need to take care of the version, because GIF support was dropped after GD 1.6. You will find out about your php, when you use then php command php_info.
