A friend of mine recently got married and the photographer used a digital
camera for the shots. Here's a sample photo (actual size). When I look at
it full size, it doesn't look sharp. Another friend says there's nothing
wrong with it; I think he's viewing it at a smaller size that fits on his
monitor.
Anyway, the event is now over and there's no going back. What I'd
like to know is what's wrong with this photo (if anything) and what could
have caused it? All of the photos look like this sample, even the far
away shots. Could this be a result of a faulty copying to CD? I think the
photographer used a Fuji digital. I don't know much about the camera other
than it looked like a pro model (not point and shoot). The photo size is
over 700K.

Seems like he forgot he had the ISO cranked up. Look at the exif info.
Shot at ISO1600 with flash, heavens only knows why?

Looks like noise to me.
Was it shot at a high ISO?

It looks like it's been interpolated up. It is not very sharp at all, even
in the full view. When viewing a smaller image, it might look better in
increments of powers of -2 so that the monitor pixels 'line up' with the
originals.

Fuji Finepix S9000 (known as 9500 in Europe) - for some reason the
photograph has been taken at 1600 iso resulting in a very noisy image - not
sure why either.

This is not a sharpness problem, it is a noise problem (high 'film' speed
(ISO)).

Additionally - your(his?) website suggests you(he?) are passionate about
photography??

And a F/3.7 (probably wide open). Over-cranked and possibly over-exposed.
That will sure create noise.

Na, not wide open.
