Windchill should apply to any heat producing body, humans and cameras both produce heat.

Not correct. Windchill includes the effect of evaporation from human skin.

Definition of windchill

: a still-air temperature that would have the same cooling effect on exposed human skin as a given combination of temperature and wind speed.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/windchill

A camera body will heat up less if the windchill increases at a given ambient temperature.

Sorta - but the claim does not include evaporation, only conduction, and that is not called windchill. In other words, "windchill" does not equal windspeed.
