I'd recommend either the T7i, or the SL2, as they use the latest 24 MP sensor with DPAF (dual pixel auto focus). Canon's DPAF is the best auto focus for video on the market right now. They also have articulating touch screens (great for pulling focus), and an input for an external microphone. The T7i has a better viewfinder, with more focus points (the SL2 still uses the old 9-point system that is in your XSi), and you can get an optional battery grip for it (the SL2 doesn't have an available grip).

I also recommend replacing your lenses if you intend to shoot videos. Get the newer STM lenses, as they are designed for video. They have stepping focusing motors, which are virtually silent. The older lenses are noisy when focusing, and the microphone will pick up this sound.
