To display the photo, first your camera needs an A/V or similar output. When I was at my former 9-5, we did shoots with Nikon's D70s, which has a composite out on an 1/8" jack. The quality of the photo was significantly reduced as it was displayed at NTSC resolution. Not sure what other options exist for near-real time (ie. not capturing to a computer first)

With dSLRs, the mirror occludes the sensor until the photo is taken so there is no real-time electronic update. Non-dSLRs are capable of real-time update because there is no mirror to interfere with the light path.
