Future’s Canon-specific title, PhotoPlus posts an impressive ABC of 26,876, with digital edition growth of over 22% helping it to climb to fourth place in the sector.

Matthew Pierce, Future’s Head of Photography, says: “This is an incredibly impressive set of ABC results. We’re delighted that Digital Camera has retained its market-leadership, but also very proud of the extraordinary growth of N-Photo in both print and digital formats. The fact that PhotoPlus has also managed to climb above close rivals from Dennis and Bauer is the icing on the cake!”
