The sales tax on the camera can be found by multiplying the listed price by the sales tax rate: $571.98 * 8.5% = $48.60.
The total cost of the camera with sales tax included is the sum of the listed price and the sales tax: $571.98 + $48.60 = $620.58.
Rounding to the nearest cent gives the total cost as $620.58. Answer: \boxed{620.58}.
