I have been continually frustrated by the way controls work on the standard PS3 controller. There is aim assist, but in general the controller "makes you miss". The L3/R3 sticks are woefully inadequate as you basically over compensate whilst lining up your target. I have tried to fool around with the sensitivity settings but to no avail.
I have found playing COD on the PC a much better experience as you can aim much more accurately with a mouse and keyboard.
Is there an equivalent for playing COD on the PS3 ?

The aim assist is available only in the campaign not in the multiplayer. The way it works is that it helps you 'snap' to the target nearest to the reticle while aiming down the sights. So maybe that snapping action is throwing you off. You can disable it and try.
It takes time to transition from PC to controller and while keyboard and mouse maybe more accurate, you will get used to the controller soon enough.
Now to answer the other part of your question, there are some non-standard controllers (read cheats) that provide extra functionality like this one. But you can't use a keyboard and mouse to play regularly.
