Who where they? Robert Capa worked for life magazine and Tony Vaccaro was a soldier who took pictures but only in certain areas during the war.
What effect did they create? they both done the decisive moment using certain cameras which were called Leica and Augus C3.
What cameras did they use? Capa used a camera called a Leica which was a very old camera which he was using and Vaccaro used the Augus C3 which is also very old but at the time was one of the best cameras in the world which is how the photographers used them days.
Also he created his pictures using water in helmets and some other chemicals to develop them quickly

Eddie Adams execution difference between picture and video.
The video shows it was kinda shocking that the guy with a gun shooting the other guy in the head which made a TV report the guy holding the gun didn't realise he going to shoot him and in the picture just shows the right timing when the guy shot him in the head by taking the picture at the right time.
“Saigon Execution” is one of the most recognizable photographs in military history, and it played a contributing role in turning public opinion against the Vietnam War. The image—by combat photographer Eddie Adams—captures the moment a uniformed South Vietnamese officer fires a bullet into the head of a man who appears to be a civilian.
The man who was shot was Bay Lop, who had beheaded people, been caught in the act of gunning down policemen, and killed the family of one of General Loan’s friends. That doesn’t necessarily justify what Loan did. But when stripped of context, it looked like someone from the South Vietnamese national police gunning down some helpless guy, and that was not the case. Bay Lop was the leader of a sophisticated assassination team that was attempting to knock off all the top leaders [of South Vietnam], and General Loan was on their list.
