A solid-state image pickup device including a matrix of unit pixels, each unit pixel including five transistors, a plurality of horizontal signal lines wired on a row-by-row basis and a vertical signal line commonly wired for the plurality of the horizontal signal lines. A reset transistor resets a floating diffusion region FD, and the reset level of the reset transistor is output to the horizontal signal lines through an amplifying transistor. In succession, a signal charge of a photodiode is read out into the floating diffusion region FD through a read out transistor, and the signal level based on the signal charge is output to the horizontal signal lines through the amplifying transistor.
