A camera-equipped portable device has first and second bodies, a camera for taking a picture, and a main display portion displaying the taken picture. The camera and the main display portion are arranged on the same surface of first body, and the camera is fixed to the first body such that an optical axis of the camera extends in a direction different from a direction perpendicular to a display surface of the main display portion. Thereby, it is possible to provide an image pick-up device, which allows picture-taking in a natural position, can suppress increase in product cost and can have a compact structure.
