Is it time to move on from my T4i

I just went through the same upgrade process with my T3i.

I just ended up getting a 77D just before the holidays but I was busy over the holidays so I have not used it enough to give any big insights that you can't get through the photo reviews.

Here are some impressions/pointers though;

1) I bought it through the Canon Refurbished web site to save some money. On that website the prices change surprisingly often and when I was looking at it the 77D only cost a little bit more than the t7i so there was little reason to go with the T7i.  I just looked and the bundle I got is $100 more now that the holiday sales are over. At that price buying new is likely a better choice.

2) I decided not to buy the 80D mainly because of the extra weight which is important to me.

3) The kit 18-55 STM lens bundle was only $20 more so I got it it. The refurbished web site also rarely had the 77D without a lens in stock. In casual use the new version seems to be better than the old non-STM kit lens I had but I would have a hard time explaining why, probably smoother, faster, and quieter.

4) In my casual use the noise at high ISOs seems to be dramatically better than the T3I, at least in JPEGs. I have not looked closely at the raw images yet so it could just be better in camera noise reduction. to the JPEG.

5) I like the touch screen even though I was expecting it to be more of a gimmick. I am starting to use liveview more so that I can just touch the screen to tell it where I want to focus.

6) To catch action shots I frequently use burst mode and the 77D is dramatically better than the T3i which would fill the buffer and pause after about three RAW shots.

7) I use Photoshop elements 14 which is a few years old. That is not being updated to use the version of CR2 RAW files that the 77D creates. This is a known issue with no work around and Adobe is not going to update it since it is an old version. I have several other workarounds but I am not sure what I will do for the long term.

8) The autofocus on the 77d seems to be a lot better than the T3i but I am still learning the ins and outs of that. The liveview autofocus is different than the viewfinder autofocus so be sure to understand how that works.

9) One concern that I had was that the T8i could be introduced soon but I could not find any consistent rumors on that.
