Provided are an imaging apparatus and a capsule endoscope that can obtain a high-quality normal image even when a normal image and a special image are simultaneously captured. The imaging apparatus includes a color filter 231 in which a filter unit including a plurality of first band filters and a second band filter is arranged corresponding to a plurality of pixels, and a transmission spectrum range of each of the plurality of first band filters. The first light source unit 241 that irradiates the light, and the wavelength spectrum of the intensity has an upward convex distribution and is light of a narrow band light spectrum that is narrower than the broadband, and takes a value that is half the maximum value in the light spectrum A second light source unit 242 for irradiating light whose upper limit value and lower limit value are between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the wavelength at which the transmission spectrum of the second band filter takes a half value of the maximum value； And a control unit 30 that irradiates the light source unit 241 and the second light source unit 242 simultaneously.通常画像と特殊画像とを同時に撮影する場合であっても、高画質な通常画像を得ることができる撮像装置およびカプセル型内視鏡を提供する。撮像装置は、複数の第１帯域フィルタと、第２帯域フィルタと、を含むフィルタユニットを、複数の画素に対応させて配置したカラーフィルタ２３１と、複数の第１帯域フィルタそれぞれの透過スペクトルの範囲を照射する第１光源部２４１と、強度の波長スペクトルが上に凸状の分布をなし、広帯域より狭い狭帯域の光スペクトルの光であって、光スペクトルにおける最大値の半分の値をとる波長の上限値と下限値とが、第２帯域フィルタの透過スペクトルにおける最大値の半分の値をとる波長の上限値と下限値との間である光を照射する第２光源部２４２と、第１光源部２４１と第２光源部２４２とを同時に照射させる制御部３０と、を備える。
