I have an 08 RAV4 w/ the 6cyl. Oil change is a breeze- you don't even need a lift unless you have a huge head. Oil pan right next to the front passenger wheel, drain plug on the far side. Oil filter housing is RIGHT NEXT TO the oil pan. Its an aluminum cylinder w/ square, 3/8" female fitting. After you drain out all the oil, you turn that square fitting (counter-clockwise) and let the oil drain from there. Then you twist the entire housing (counter-clockwise). Switch-out the gaskets (there are 2), switch out the filter element and twist the entire housing back into place. Its really easy. I'd like more info to this question as well. However, I have found one good post regarding changing the oil filter on Toyota's current 6th generation 3.5-litre V6 engine. I believe this is the same engine as in the 2007-08 V6 Camry:

I have heard there is a protective plate with a number of screws that needs to be removed before you can get to the oil filter housing. Would appreciate if someone could verify this and if someone could provide pics of where exactly the filter is located.
The relative ease of changing my own oil is is a definite consideration when buying a new car. It is the reason I've not considered buying a late model Toyota with the 2GR-FE line of V6 engines. Maybe someone can convince me otherwise.
