What do you think of the Coolpix L120? Full review plus help!

I am new to photography but I really wanna start getting my work out online for people to see. I love to take pictures and videos which that is my hobby and I am wondering if this camera is worth getting for Christmas for me if I am just starting out taking pictures?

Should I get it for Christmas or return it after the holidays and get something else?
