Which is better for a beginner?

Both are entry-level DSLRs with guided auto modes, but the 2000D's larger 3-inch screen and higher resolution make it the easier first camera. The T100 is a fine alternative if size is the priority.

Is the 2000D worth the extra over the T100?

The 2000D is actually cheaper here: $389.99 at Teds Electronics versus $399.00 at Wall Street Photo for the T100. You get more megapixels and a better screen for less money.

Which has better image quality?

The 2000D's 24.1MP sensor captures more detail and gives more room to crop. Both share the same ISO 100-6400 range (expandable to 12800), so low-light performance is close.

Yes. Both record Full HD 1080p at up to 30p. The T100 adds HD 60p for smoother slow-motion footage.

Neither body is weather sealed, so both need care in rain and dust. The T100 is smaller and lighter, which some shoppers find easier to carry daily; battery life is similar on both LP-E10-class bodies.

Can I use the same lenses on both?

Yes. Both use the Canon EF-S mount and ship with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 III kit lens, so lenses are interchangeable between the two bodies.
