Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYou both have a weak level 1 — short range, no real combo, her E not yet up — so deny her Q last-hits and stay out of her auto range; it is close to even here.
Level 2Even / skillStill pre-E-engage and pre-6, so trade carefully with Q poke, but one missed step lets her set up the level-2 wall-dash stun — it stays roughly even.
Level 3CamilleAt 2-3 her E wall-dash stun into a W true-damage cone and Q proc is a chunk you cannot answer from melee range, so concede the trade — Camille's window.
Levels 4-5CamilleLevels 4-5 she out-trades you hard: her W heals through your Q poke while E and Q chunk you, and you still lack ranged autos — Camille owns it.
Level 6CamilleAt 6 her R cage isolates you with no peel and your invuln R only delays the kill; she finishes with Q-proc and W the instant your ult ends — Camille's all-in.
First itemCamilleThrough first item her Sheen + Q true-damage proc out-bursts your single-target ranged autos, and her item lead spikes before your two-item scaling lands — Camille.
Two+ itemsKayleBy two items and especially your level-16 AoE form, your ranged waves and E missing-health damage out-DPS her through W heal and she cannot dive you — Kayle finally flips it.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-3 are a coin flip you mostly lose if you flinch. You are melee here with only Q and one W point, and once Camille hits 2 she can E-hookshot in, wall-dash for the stun, and land her W true-damage cone plus a Q proc before you react. Do not walk up for a Q poke — last-hit with the tip of Q, use its slow and armor/MR shred only when she dashes, and let her shove. Her one weakness: long pre-6 cooldowns, so a missed E gives you a free CS window. Bank health, not pride.
