  If I bought the Canon BG-E2 Battery Grip, which has room for 2 batteries....do the batteries come with it? or is it just a shell of a grip?

  Before dumping your money into the OEM part, check out Opteka's version here:
  
  http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Battery-Canon-Digital-Camera/dp/B000MFEDHO/sr=8-3/qid=1171940173/ref=sr_1_3/104-7860421-1330318?ie=UTF8&s=electronics
  
  
  You can also buy it here, WITH two batteries:

  I own the grip by Opteka for my XTi, and absolutely love it.

  Semper fi,

  When you do get the grip do two things: 1) hide the useless AA tray--they don;t last long enough to be worth the effort, and 2) go visit http://www.sterlingtek.com for better than OEM batteries at 25% of the price.
