You can use a camcorder anywhere, it doesn't know the difference. But the signal it's recording may not be playable on the native equipment there.

PAL is the european broadcast format and NTSC is american. They are completely incompatible and require a convertor to view/record one format on the other's equipment, resulting a loss of the picture information (less so from PAL to NTSC than the other way around).

The american (NTSC) equivalent of the the XM2 is the GL2, a good workhorse of a camcoder, better than a SONY 950 but a tad less than the VX2000 or PD150.
