  The Coolpix 8700 does not have Nikkor F-mount interchangeable lenses. It has a fixed zoom and accessory wide-angle and tele- adaptors that screw on the front filter threads. If you want a digital camera that shares lenses with the F3, look at the D70.

Any flash that can function in automatic non-TTL will work with each of the F3, 8700, or D70. For TTL flash control the digitals need the newer model flashes that have i-TTL.
