Music Photographer Advice? (Like Adam Elmakias)?

I'm a sophmore in high school and have a big interest in concerts and also photography. Someday I would like to be like Adam Elmakias. Go on tours with bands and take pictures of them while playing and everything similar. I really need a camera to start out with. Preferably a canon. I'm going to start going to local shows around where I live and take pictures there to build a portfolio. Any advice on what camera I should get? One for good low light situations? Also any advice on my career and how to potentially achieve where I would like to get? :)

Should I return my Nikon L330?

So I bought this camera on Black Friday on Target me being a compulsive buyer thought "hmm its a Nikon it bound to take amazing pictures". Keep in mind I know nothing about cameras and I should've done some research before buying it. Doing some research I found out that ehhh its not a good camera considering that I bought it at $99 original price $229. Plus I have to buy a battery charger and rechargeable batteries.

So I was thinking should I return this one and buy the Nikon L830, I have researched it and found out that it's a little better(is it?). This one costs $299 original and discount $169 ( not even 50% off). Plus I still have to but a battery charger and rechargeable batteries.

FYI: I want to take pictures of landscape and nature I know nothing on how to but would like to because i love nature and stuff. As well as im on a budget so I can't buy a DSLR
Added (1). Or is there another camera that takes above average pictures.

Amazon Rewards Card good idea?

Im 22. Have had only 2 30-day past due payments in my life since being 18. They were $50 payments for a fedloan(college). Paid 2k out of 3.5k since 2010. The other loan I have is for my car since 2/2013. Paid every month on time for this payment. Those two past dues were my very first payments for the fedloan in 2010. Been flawless since then. Would opening an amazon card for a purchase of $3400 be okay? Need to take advantage of holiday Nikon savings of $700. I have 950 ready to pay upfront btw
Car payment info: 12.5k left out of 19k total. Did a 66 finance at 4%apr.

Nikon d3200 lens choice?

I have a nikon d3200 with a 18-55mm and a 55-200mm lens. I was considering the nikon 18-105mm(used). Will it be a good choice or will it be better to buy the 35mm 1.8g(new) and the 50mm 1.8g(new) both.
