may be helpful seeing the info/specs side by side

anything specific you want to photograph? The two cameras are similar in certain aspects, but the t4 has greater low light abilities (higher iso rating), a touch screen, can shoot a little faster continuous burst mode,.... but these things may be useless to someone shooting outdoor landscapes in daylight conditions.
here is another thing to consider.

and this isn't to say you need all L glass ^. There are "cheap" lenses from canon that are tack sharp.
canon 50mm prime lens is a perfect example. You can find them for around $100 new, and it'll be leaps ahead of any "kit lens" that comes with the camera.

Biggest misconception people have is that the expensive newest gear is what makes amazing pictures. Normally its more like 10% gear, 80% your skill, and 10% luck.
Unless you are planning on making billboards with your photos, save yourself some money, get a t2i, at 18mp its more than enough resolution even for most pros. Most importantly learn how to use it! and go find yourself a copy of Understanding Exposure.

Then once you get used to the camera and the kit lens you choose to get with it, take the money you saved not getting the brand new top of the line model and get yourself a better lens based on how you like to shoot.
I have several bags full of what at one point was some expensive and still decent pro level gear (going on 4 camera generations old now), and i can take some downright crappy photos, but i can also take some nice ones on occasion. Its all about knowing your gear and how to use it, and some creative post processing. Also, I can almost guarantee whatever pictures youve seen that are making you think you want to buy a t4i have been post processed to get the effect you see and learning the post processing techniques you could get the same results out of even my old gear, but you would never see pictures straight out of a camera with the same look

that ^ post processing is another ball of wax, but some people love it

I agree, aside from some level tweaking and crop i do next to no post processing on my stuff. But the processed stuff is usually what really pops and makes people go and try their hand at photography

like this one, the vingnette is completely accidental, i was using a ultra wide angle lens and my hotshoe flash couldnt throw light that wide
This ones just a crop and b&w conversion (ok i edited a pipe out of the top left corner too)
sorry for the creepy pictures from an insane asylum

almost all the shots are with a point and shoot - s100 canon
(showing that you can achieve some pretty amazing pics from a point and shoot camera if you know what you're doing with the settings)
http://kenrockwell.com/trips/2012-02-rt-66/index.htm
this is the lens I was talking about in the post above for like 100 dollars
http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/50mm-f18.htm
http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/
scroll and look at lenses ^^ lot of test shots in the reviews, and it will give you an idea on pricing and what his opinion is on a certain model.

I actually use the equivalent non canon brand lenses, theyre usually just about as good as the coveted L series lenses and 1/4-1/2 the price, tamron and tokina, i also have the 50mm 1.8 in my bag, i pull it out when i want to challenge myself to one focal length for a day

That guy is a creep. Lol. He has a mix of British and Chinese accent or maybe he's trying to do a 'Top Gear' type of show on photography ie fake British accent?

lol yeah, you have to see some of his other stuff to get him. Some of his other reviews aren't nearly as bad... but they all have a similarity to them.

His accent is very throaty, like Jeremy Clarkson. He's pretty funny though in some segments, but he's like a jackass. Haha.
