Canon EOS R7 vs R10: which to buy?

Canon's two APS-C RF-mount bodies from 2022. The EOS R7 adds a 32.5MP sensor, in-body stabilization, weather resistance, two SD slots and a 1/8000 s shutter; the EOS R10 has a 24.2MP sensor, the same 15 fps mechanical bursts, a pop-up flash and a lighter body.

Why it exists. This page is for someone choosing an APS-C Canon RF body who wants to know whether the R7's extra resolution, in-body stabilization, weather resistance and dual card slots are worth its extra weight over the R10.
