Convert Canon EOS Rebel T3i/600D Quicktime MOV to FCP ProRes for editing

The Canon EOS 600D is an 18.0 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera which is known as the EOS Kiss X5 in Japan and the EOS Rebel T3i in the United States and Canada.

EOS Rebel T3i continues to use the 18MP CMOS sensor seen in the Rebel T2i (550D) but gains a tilt and swivel 1,040k dot LCD monitor like the one offered on the more expensive 60D. It also gains the ability to remotely control flashguns using its internal flash, a feature previously only featured on higher-end models.

Advantages: Useful Vari Angle 3-inch LCD; Excellent image quality; Robust video recording options including full HD Wireless flash transmitter for multiple flashes; External mic jack; Easy to use menu system and onscreen controls; Versatile 18-135mm kit lens option provides all in one solution.

Disadvantages: Lack of single button movie recording; Some physical controls oddly placed; Auto White Balance struggles in most indoor lighting conditions--a traditional Canon weakness.
