Best FHD frame rate for M200

I have lot of video footage shot with M50 at FHD 24fps; recently I acquired  M200.

Since M-200 only supports 30 and 60 FPS, what is the best rate to shoot to combine with existing 24fps from M-50?

I have m100 and some other Canon cameraes. It's comon that You will have the TV system set to PAL if You are in Europe. If You change to NTSC, you will get the 25/24 and 50 hz choices.

The M200 shoots at 24 fps in 4k video mode. You only get this video mode if you change to the 'video' setting on the main dial and change the video settings through the menu. You could then downsample the 4k to 1080p or edit them together in video editing software.

Downsampling will also result in cleaner, sharper 1080p. You can even use digital image stabilization in-camera or in software, which reduces the resolution and quality when viewed in 4k, but downsampling to 1080p it will look great.

The following video was shot by combining 4k 24p from a Canon m6ii and a full-spectrum-converted Canon M200 with a hotmirror filter on it, downsampled to 4k 1080p. The M200 footage is at 4:48 and 8:08.

IN 4k mode M200 does not do phase-detect AF - the primary reason I switched to M from Lumix , not to mention a significant crop in FoV.

Yes, you're right, forgot about that, those issues are a disadvantage of the M200 and M50ii's 4k video.

It is worth noting that the M6ii's 4k is not cropped, and uses dual pixel AF, so decent 4k is available in the M system, although it's not quite as sharp as the R7's downsampled uncropped 4k video.
