After the Australian launch of the Galaxy Camera at the event in Sydney last night, we’ve been intrigued with the concept and really can’t wait to see where we can get our hands on one. Scott one of our podcasters found it on the Harvey Norman website where it is available to pre-order for $596 with availability listed as Mid-November.

At $596 this camera is packed full of features and functions and with Jelly Bean pre-installed as well as a 3G radio it is very hard to look past. I certainly cannot wait to get my hands on one so I’ll be keeping an eye on my local Harvey Norman store to get a closer look. Will you be buying a Galaxy Camera or at least checking it out?
