From what I've read, there appears to be no redesign. I guess it will look just like the '05 Camry.
As far as specs are concerned, I have found little info on that too... you may have already seen this though.

Hybrid Camry in 2006
The Yomiuri Shimbun is reporting that Toyota will release the long-discussed hybrid version of the Camry in North America in 2006.
Toyota hopes to sell tens of thousands of the cars in the first year, aiming to dominate the hybrid car market in the United States...
The launch of the hybrid version of the Camry—Toyota’s most marketable car—is expected to result in a rapid increase in demand for hybrids, leading to mass production of the vehicles and reduction in their prices, which are high compared with gasoline-powered vehicles.
The Camry is the top-selling car in the US; Toyota sold some 410,000 units of the car last year.
A similar report in March in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun said that Toyota “aims to sell more than 100,000 of the vehicles a year, mainly in the North American market.”
In January 2004, Jim Press, the Toyota Motor Sales COO, said that the company was “studying the possibility” of offering a Camry hybrid.
The Camry decision “obviously depends on the public’s reaction” to the Lexus and Highlander [hybrids], said Jim Press, chief operating officer of Toyota Motor Sales. “If we decide to do it, we could move forward with it pretty quickly.”
Based on the last months of Prius sales data (earlier post), and waiting lists for the Lexus and Highlander, it’s probably safe to assume they have made that decision.
One interesting aspect of Toyota’s hybrid campaign is going to be seeing how they secure a steady supply of needed components.
Toyota clearly sees the opportunity. Number one global automaker. The hybrids will help take them there.

From what I have heard, there will be a short model run for the 06 Camry which will be the last year of the current style and in Jan 2006, they will release a new body style of the Camry and will be released with a hybrid version in the mix. Supposed to be a smaller version of the Avalon so styling should be impressive. TOYOTA IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!!

By meaning small, you mean just about the same size as now?

Any links or articles to back that up?

Since 1987 the Camry has been redesigned every 5 years. 87-91, 92-96, 97-01. So it will be highly unlikely that the Camry will be redesigned for 06, more like for 2007. However, I do think it is possible that Toyota may offer a hybrid powertrain in the Camry for '06 like Honda did with their Accord this year.
I work for the largest Toyota dealership in the Chicago region and that is what we have been told. What I meant was a smaller version of the new Avalon meaning vehicle size will probably be similar to the current version. I do not have any links stating this info, but am very confident on this info being true.
