Of course, your F3 is a classic, and if it's in good condition you should be able to get a decent price from selling it. Check Shutterbug to see what the current asking price is for like cameras, or check some of the used equipment at sites like B&H Photo.

As for digital, it depends a lot on what you want to do with the photos after you have taken them. For example, if you want to just print them out on a good photo quality ink-jet type printer or only view them on your computer - most of the digital cameras that have a 2 megapixel imager will be adequate for prints up to 8x10 inches.

If you want to make larger printed photos (up to say, 11x14 range), then you need an imager with more resolution like 4 megapixels. At the high end, if you want to duplicate the resolution of 35mm film using real photographic paper, and have the print made on something like a LightJet printer, then you need a camera such as the new one from Kodak based on the Nikon N80 that has a 13.7 megapixel imager.

As far as quality of equipment, at the lower end they're all pretty good, and it comes down to form factor (user ergonomics), lens optical zoom range, and "features" that you may find useful.
