    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus that is made compact in the size of an apparatus body, particularly the lateral size thereof, without impairing operability thereof. The image capturing apparatus includes connection terminals for connecting external devices thereto, an air inlet port via which air is drawn in for cooling heat sources of an apparatus body, and an air outlet port via which the air is discharged. A connection terminal arrangement surface and an air outlet port arrangement surface form different surfaces and are inclined at predetermined angles with respect to an optical axis, respectively. The connection terminal arrangement surface and the air outlet port arrangement surface are arranged to be displaced in a left-right direction, as viewed from the side of the image capturing apparatus, and are arranged to overlap each other, as viewed from the front of the image capturing apparatus.

    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus that prevents hooking of a cable, coming-off of a connector, or the like without lowering insertion and extraction performance of a cable even when external connection terminals are arranged on inclined faces formed on a side surface of an apparatus main body in its width direction while reducing a size of the apparatus main body in the width direction. The inclined faces inclines such that ends of the respective inclined faces on a back side of the apparatus main body are inclined in a direction to come close to the optical axis. The inclined faces are arranged at positions so as not to overlap to each other when viewed from the width direction of the apparatus main body, and are arranged such that a part of the inclined faces overlap to each other when viewed from a direction of the optical axis.
