I just looked at this camera in the store. I really liked it. But I am confussed....it has an anti blur and the store clerk referred to it as image stablization. But I thought many people have said fuji doesn't have that.
So does anyone know?

There is no real image stabilization on any of the Fuji cameras. What many of them (including the S6000fd) do have is high ISO capability. This means that you can boost the ISO (or the camera can do it for you) to get a faster shutter speed, and it is the faster shutter speed which results in less blurry images. Fuji cameras are among the best non-DSLR's for producing relatively high-quality, grain-free, high ISO images. BUT they mislead consumers by calling this capability "picture stabilization", because it sounds too much like "image stabilization", and it really isn't. True image stabilization involves a shifting of either a lens element or the CCD inside the camera to compensate for hand-movement, and this allows the photographer to get less blurry images using slower shutter speeds; it's kind of the reverse of high ISO.

so basically when I turn the camera to this setting, it looks like an anti shake all it will do is bump up the speed?

Not just the shutter speed, the ISO as well. On my S6k it also puts the camera in fast focus mode too.
