4. Epson Photo RX610

Of the 4, Canon MP620 has the best printing and scanning resolution. It even got the Cnet Asia readers' choice gold award.

Epson seems not very common. It seems almost obsolete, based on number of reviews.

Canon MP620 weighs 10kg but since meeting SO, he would be the one carrying it. Ha!
