Based on the fact that it has an SLR-like design, and is equipped with a 10.7X zoom that has a focal length range that starts at an excellent wide angle equivalent to a 28 mm, and which extends to a big telephoto equivalent to a 300 mm, the S6000fd would appear to be a good fit into a group of cameras that are defined as Bridge cameras. Yet, it lacks one important feature to be pigeon-holed as a Bridge camera: a true optical stabilization system.
