How, exactly do ”we all” know that it’s capable of doing so?
Canon to add 24p recording to the Canon EOS 90D, Canon EOS RP & Canon EOS M6 Mark II

Canon is too smart for that. Just like they dont put log in some cameras. They bank on not giving someone a camera with all the features. the framerate thing was just petty though. It is just a common feature that people use when they shoot video. Most professionals shoot 24 or 60 fps.
They both run DIGIC 8 Processors. So, yes, the R is capable of doing 120fps.
A lot of canon cameras have weird limitations when shooting in 120 though. like no sound or no AF. Even the c200 loses the ability to have AF in 120. the c300 mk ii crops in. I dont know if digics is the reason why or maybe other issues.
I would have already spent the money on a m6ii if it has a built in evf. I still want to use my flashes.
I think Canon purposely hinders limitations of certain cameras to not take away from others. I agree, the C200 SHOULD have AF in 120fps given that the 1DX Mark II has it, but they excluded it. I doubt hardware from a DSLR would be superior to hardware that's placed in a cinema camera.
Plus, we now know Canon hinders certain camera models with them updating these cameras with 24fps. Don't get me wrong though, I love my EOS R, but I do wish it at least had 120fps in 1080p. Oh well though. Just have to keep working with what I have and hopefully Canon will release a camera that really hits all my wants.
Yes, that is a good point. I don't use external flashes that often but I agree, it is a drawback of the M6 ii design. It's likely a deal breaker for those who regularly use flashes.
Hence why they figured a camera aimed at amateurs didn't need it. These cameras aren't aimed at professionals and most people will just shoot at whatever resolution and framerate is the default setting.
First, three words: sensor readout speed. Second, "DIGIC 8" is a marketing term. DIGIC SoCs of the same generation share some commonalities, but there's little reason to assume that they're all exactly the same with regard to capabilities and performance. So no, it's not "we know", it's "you assume", and we all know what assumptions are worth.
Just because a big company aims something towards a group doesnt mean that that is only group that will buy it. Professional is a broad term that meanspeople that make money from an activity. Stop making excuses for them. Taking away 24fps is like taking away raw. You are hendering the overall usefulness by taking away a standard that has been around for decades in cheaper to expensive products.
It would be the user's responsibility to select a rate appropriate to their playback device.
The M6 II and 90D clearly have a newer generation sensor that allows much more flexibility in terms of read out speed.
The 1D X II has a throughput of 320 MP/s. The M6 II does 455 MP/s and thereby beats the Canon flagship easily. The EOS R uses the 5D IV sensor and that's only capable of 210 MP/s apparently.
Video is probably not read at full Bitrate, so not quite comparable. But 1080 120p is 250 MP/s. It's likely that the Bottleneck on the R is the sensor, I think.
So, an omitted feature will be added to a series of bodies through a firmware update and at least half of the posts here are complaints.
Maybe be happy Canon listened to feedback. Life is too short for all of the griping.

Promptly responding to customer requests, at least those that can be delivered via F/W updates, is what Fuji has been really successful at. It has periodically released based on customer demands and asks. I have a Fuji setup, but my go to is still Canon and I am glad Canon is finally taking this approach to comply whenever possible. Thanks Canon (and obviously Fuji for showing that this is doable).
Finally! I don’t have this kind of problems with my models but it was just incredibly stupid to cut some customers out for something that is not related to technical feasibility and that could be added so easily! I’m really liking that Canon is starting to work seriously on improving cameras via Software!
Ah no. It costs them money to add this. It isn’t about being technically easy or not. But apparently they need to license it. So they probably excluded it cause they were willing to bet that people wouldn’t care enough for it to affect sales. Enough noise made and a rethink means they concluded it would cost them more to not implement it than the money saved because of reduced sales or bad publicity.
It is the same reasoning behind 5GHz frequencies in routers. It isn’t technically harder to have but they have to pay to use it.
Uh huh... I bet their well paid market research team told them this too, huh???
Canon knows better... all other companies are so dumb, why aren’t they hiring market researchers to tell them not to include 24p.... so dumb of Fuji, Sony, etc.
