I want images from my Nikon D80 to appear on a tablet as I shoot so I can review them on a larger screen and make adjustments during a session. What options are available for getting photos from the camera to a tablet in near real time?

You can use an EyeFi SD card, which contains a wifi radio, to wirelessly connect to your tablet. The Nikon D80 is supported by Eye-Fi cards.
Note: I highly recommend only buying a newer EyeFi Mobi or Mobi Pro card. All other Eye-Fi cards (X2, etc.) have been discontinued by Eye-Fi, and will no longer work with their online service EyeFi Cloud (which was recently sold to Ricoh) after September 2016.

Yes—this is commonly done with wireless image transfer.
For a Nikon D80, one option mentioned is an Eye‑Fi SD card, which adds Wi‑Fi to the camera and can send captured photos to a tablet for review. If considering Eye‑Fi, the newer Mobi or Mobi Pro versions were recommended, since older Eye‑Fi cards and services were discontinued.
Another option is Nikon’s Wireless Mobile Utility app for Android or iOS. If the camera does not have built-in Wi‑Fi, you would need a compatible wireless adapter connected to the camera so it can communicate with the tablet.
In short: to have images appear on your tablet while shooting, you need a wireless transfer solution—either a Wi‑Fi SD card such as an Eye‑Fi model that supports the D80, or Nikon’s mobile app used with a compatible wireless adapter. Availability and compatibility should be checked before buying, especially with older cameras and discontinued wireless products.
