Abstract
An image pickup apparatus that can store a display device in an apparatus body and that prevents snap fit connection from releasing in a pulled-out state where the display device is pulled out while keeping ease of assembly in manufacturing. The image pickup apparatus includes a first barrel, a second barrel that is connected to the first barrel and achieves a stored state and the pulled-out state of the display device by relatively moving with respect to the first barrel, and a third barrel that is connected to the second barrel by snap fit connection. The first barrel has a fastening part at its end of connection with the second barrel so that the fastening part suppresses release of the snap fit connection in the pulled-out state and does not suppress the release of the snap fit connection in the stored state.
