Got to hand it to Blizzard. Very few developers can pull off labeling RNG as content and have their players white knight it so hard like they do.

Two characters with the camera now (got it on an alt first, a little miffed for a few days til my main got it).
The mission itself was a L100 mission, though I'm not sure whether that's tied to the character or the mission's just plain L100 (achievable by lower level alts so long as they have L100 followers). I didn't spam missions on my main for it, though, I think it was just random whether it popped up for me or not and the other missions likely didn't interfere with it - the alt wasn't spamming missions, either. Random be random.
My biggest complaint is that they're not Toys right off the bat. I have inventory issues. But I sympathize greatly with anyone who really wants it on a specific character (or at all, on anyone) and is having terrible lucky. I would hope it's not on a longer hidden cooldown than the raid cache missions.

It is account-bound as a Toy once upgraded, but the problem is just waiting for it to fucking come in your mission log.
How exactly will it fix itself?
- - - Updated - - -
I CURRENTLY have nothing to do. I'd like to get the camera to HAVE something to do.
Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
Patch 6.1:
- Instead of sitting in your garrison with nothing to do, now you can sit in Stormwind or Stormshield and make faces at your camera until you get sick of the default cycle of animations playing on top of your emotes.
Defeat RNG by leveling as many alts as possible. And no, I don't blame you if you're sick of doing just that, but it's the only way to obtain this, along with various other mounts and whatnot.
To be fair it wasn't me who spent months advertising this feature or the Tradeskill vendor epic quests. Besides sending a follower out to do meaningless things for me is not content to me and isn't "new" content. An while on the subject, going click click on the trade skill vendor is not epic and compelling content and neither is this Npc trying to get me to run a meaningless heroic with meaningless rewards.
Entering Day 6 now. Bah.

I am in the same boat. I have 5 max level character that I have been spamming missions on, and haven't gotten the camera. Guildies have gotten 2-3 on the same account.
Here is the issue with this: it came in a patch that give us the music box, the selfie camera, and garrison visitors. So 1/3rd of the 'content' in this patch is all RNG. I have yet to get a reroll mission on a character that hit 100 4 days into the xpac.
The RNG of it is stupid. Some people that REALLY want this are just sitting here being bored and frustrated because there is nothing you can do.
I already have the camera but never got the mission that rewards autographed hearthstone card.
You can try to fit me in a box, only to see me burst out of it.
5 100's 4 got it, and one of those got the upgrade so they all have it now. Not very gated.
@OP - I've gotten the base camera part twice and the filter part once. This was on five of my toons altogether so far. Friend of mine runs 3 and got the first part yesterday. From what I've seen overall it has a high chance of popping up so give it a week and you should see it. I don't really see how they wouldn't make it spawn in less than a month's time.
Actually, had you both looked at the OP's posting date it was on 2/26. Patch was released 2/24. Which is 2 days so those people aren't wrong. Had we went by the date YOU guys posted your responses then yes, it would be 4-5 days and not 2. So their math is correct. Next time, before you post to insult someone you might want to double check everything to ensure they are correct.
Wow people really do complain about everything.
This is what the game is. I might not get the piece of gear I want until 6.2, you'll get it eventually lol
Shows this thread was created 2015-02-27 on my end. As for me 2015-02-27, is when I commented. So for me at least I was correct when I said Tues-Friday does not equal 2 days. An even if this site displayed it wrong on my end then it would have been Tues-Thurs thats 3 days. In which case one of us or all of us is wrong. Since this sight changes the time display every time I reload the site I cant give u an accurate time.
Now it says 2/27 around 1am they posted which could have been just after he sent all his followers on 8-10 hr missions. Which I still count. So yup im stickin with 4 days.

As soon as I copied my character to the PTR I got the mission for the normal camera. However, getting the upgrade it took quite a while (although that was because I barely did missions and it probably popped up when some older mission expired). Now, while burning through all missions on live regularly, I still haven't got anything. Since I only have my main at lvl 100, getting the two camera missions might take a while.
12 chars (8 of which are 100) with a Garrison, none have the mission for the Cam yet. Also need to make sure that char gets the second mission after to upgrade it, which is slightly annoying. RNG is RNG I guess?
E: I guess complaining works. I just got the mission show up on my alt.

Key thing to note - Just got the "2nd" selfie camera mission - this turns your camera into A TOY + adds filters.
So if you get it just once on an alt you now have camera + filters on every single character. Both my characters who received the camera mk1 received the upgrade mission within the next 24hours so wouldn't be suprised if its scripted to spawn right after you get the first part.
