ELCAN Optical Technologies has a rifle scope with a built in camera/video recorder that photographs or videos automatically when you pull the trigger – or can be used to take a picture or video of what you are looking through your scope without pulling the trigger.

So, in essence a smaller gun camera?

yes, it is like a camera and you are looking on LCD screen, but not through the scope. also it is day and night, no need to change scope or to have additional night vision to mount in front of day scope. plus it can estimate range and you can feed ballistic data from computer to it and you can have connected extra display to it.

I believe it is that what most military scopes will look after some time.

most danger for snipers in our techno age comes not from mortars and enemy snipers, but from laser based anti sniper systems, there is a number of laser anti snipers system developed. Russians have such system 20 years ago, US army tested portable version of Stingray laser neutralizing devise mounted on top of Bradley Fighting Vehicles in 1995, now they have two or maybe even more such systems . Another system they have called BOSS - Battlefield Optical Surveillance System. This system can permanently or temporarily blind the sniper who are using normal optical scope and working fully automatically, that is deadly effective systems against snipers.

that was just a question of time when such digital scopes will appear. They have named it as a Hunter, but it is clearly military item, with counter snipers measures in mind.
